It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our precious angel, Aria Grace Byrd, on September 15, 2025. Aria was born on June 17th of this year to Twan Maurice Byrd, Jr. and Audrey Jean Stolarski of Tappahannock. She was also welcomed by her big brother Kiari Santana Byrd and her big sissy Ava Marie Byrd. Aria will forever be our light shining down from Heaven.

Aria was a lively baby who loved laughing and always wanted to be near Kiari and Ava. She also liked being tickled, being held 24/7, she was most definitely an "arm baby". She loved when her mommy would flick her chin and call her girly. She was always just so happy. She adored her daddy, Aria was a true daddy's girl. She loved looking at herself in the mirror as she knew she was so beautiful.

Left to cherish her sweet memory are her parents, Audrey and Twan; her sister, Ava; her brother, Kiari; her grandparents: Tammy Cusic, Louis Stolarski, Twan Byrd, Sr., and Margaret Johnson; her great-grandmothers, Arlene Byrd and Ethel Johnson; her aunts and uncles: Margie Stolarski ("Mawgie"), Robert Cusic, Daysha Johnson, Imoni Johnson, Jay'lene Byrd,; her great-aunts and -uncles: Jacqueline Hall (Maurice), Vickie Cusic, James Byrd, and James Miller; and her cousins: Zeus, Zyonn, Zeke, Tru S'dae, Miranda, Christopher, Brayden, Kashton, Tabitha, Erik, Gregory, Kaleigh and Dana (Shawn); as well as many other extended family and friends who adored our sweet Aria. She was welcomed into Heaven by her big cousins, Sj, and Kyren; her great grand parents, Audrey Butler and Donald Brown (his mini shortcakes); and her Aunt Cathy.

A Celebration of Life for Aria will be held at Welch Funeral Home Marks Chapel in Warsaw on a date and time that will be announced here when the details are confirmed. Please check back
