Our precious baby, born on October 4, 2024, in Arlington, Texas, Jayce Ryan brought joy and love into the world. On October 22, 2025, our little fighter passed away, gaining his angel wings and leaving behind a legacy of happiness and affection in his short but impactful life.
Jayce had the cutest chubby cheeks, he was a sweet, happy, and loving baby who always had a smile on his face. He loved to snuggle, be close to and look at his mommy Derrionna, who was truly his whole world. Jayce also loved being talked to and sung to, enjoyed sucking on his tongue, and was fascinated by his reflection in the mirror. Handsome and full of sass, yet incredibly sweet, Jayce had a personality that charmed everyone he met. He was, in every sense, an amazing baby.
Jayce is deeply missed by his mother, Derrionna; his father, Dijon; his sister, Raeleigh, age four; his brother, Leighton, age three; his beloved grandmother, Nuna and family. His hobbies included tummy time, looking in the mirror, and engaging with anyone and everyone around him. The funeral service will be held on November 5th at 10am at Wade Family Funeral Home.
