Dax Richard Sylvester, of Saginaw, passed away on Sunday September 28, 2025 at his home in Saginaw, Michigan.
Dax was born on April 4, 2025, in Saginaw, Michigan, the son of Charles Allen Sylvester and Sarena Desirae Moore.
Dax's bubbly personality will forever be missed. He was always smiling and filled with joy. Dax loved his big brother (Jaxon Louie Sylvester) and loved spending time with him. One of our favorite memories is of Dax learning to play cars with Jaxon. You could see their sweet brotherly bond growing between them. Whether it was playing with cars or watching SpongeBob, they were inseparable. Dax also loved going to work with mommy and watching daddy work on cars. We will miss our mornings together, waking up to the sounds of your little laughs or growls, letting us know you were ready to play. Dax will always be our sunshine, our precious baby boy, who filled each day with love and hope. His bright eyes, peaceful presence and gentle soul touched the lives of many. Though his time on earth was brief, Dax left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him, and those treasured memories will forever be carried in our hearts.
Dax is survived by his parents: Charles Sylvester and Sarena Moore; brother: Jaxon Sylvester; grandparents: Eric Moore, Charles E. Sylvester, Lisa Sylvester, and Kathryn Gonzales; aunts: Keyonia (Mathew Harwood) Gonzales, Aaliyah Moore, Krista (Conner Marchenkusi) Moore, Mea Moore, and Alexis Ritter; uncles: Eric (Makayla Gowell) Moore, and Tyler Vanduser; cousins: Maddalynn Harwood, Clayton Harwood, and Addison Harwood.
Dax is preceded in death by his great-grandparents, Louie and Kathy Sylvester, and great-aunt, Debbie Mains.
Family and friends will gather for a Celebration of Life on Sunday, October 26, 2025, at 4:00 PM, at Eric Moore's Home, 11071 South Townline Road, Roscommon, Michigan 48653.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Wagner and Walsh Funeral Directors, Roscommon.
