It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved baby boy, Alexander Vincent Linard, who left this world far too soon on August 11, 2025, at just two months old. Born in Akron, Ohio, on June 9, 2025, Alexander was a beautiful light in the lives of his parents, Alayna Sierra Wilson and Jensen Robert Linard, who cherished every moment of his brief but meaningful life.

Alexander was a true miracle baby, born after his mother was told she wouldn’t be able to have children. From the moment he arrived, he filled their hearts with more joy and love than words can express. A happy and content little soul, Alexander had just started to smile and already loved to cuddle and snuggle in the arms of those who loved him most.

He especially enjoyed peaceful walks in his stroller with Mom and Dad, and quiet bottle-feedings at Tuscora Park, where the family made memories that will forever be held close. His soft coos, bright eyes, and gentle presence touched everyone who met him.

Alexander is deeply mourned by his loving parents, Alayna and Jensen, and by his grandparents: Amanda Barbour and her companion Brian Hollis of Cambridge, Michael Wilson of Zanesville, and Robert and Florence Linard of Uhrichsville. He was adored by his aunts and uncles: Joslyn Wilson of Columbus, Kaitlyn Wilson, Janelle Hollis, and Caitlin Hollis, all of Cambridge; Brendon Patterson of Cleveland; Nicole Kadri and Nathan Linard, both of Uhrichsville.

Alexander was also dearly loved by his great-grandmothers: Rosemary Wilson of Zanesville, Carol Brick, and Barbara Linard, as well as by numerous cousins and extended family members.

Though his time on Earth was short, Alexander’s life was filled with love, hope, and the kind of pure joy that only a baby can bring. He will forever be remembered and held in the hearts of those who were blessed to know him.

Rest peacefully, sweet Alexander. You will always be our little miracle.
