Kayson Lee Phillips, two months old, passed on March 18, 2026, at Akron Children’s Hospital.

Kayson was born on January 18, 2026, the beloved son of Nicholas and Brittany (Beckett) Phillips. Though his time here was brief, he was deeply loved and brought immeasurable joy to his family from the very beginning.

Kayson was the cherished twin brother of Colson, and a precious little brother to Adleigh, age 4, and Waylon, age 3. He is also survived by his loving grandparents, Leroy and Kim Phillips, Nancy Regula, and John and Kathy Weaver, along with many devoted aunts, uncles, and cousins who will forever hold him close in their hearts.

Though Kayson’s life was short, the love he gave and inspired will always remain with his family. He will be remembered for the light he brought into their lives and the special place he will forever hold in their hearts.

A private graveside service will be held at the Phillips Family Cemetery. To sign an online guestbook for Kayson, visit the obituary link on the funeral home’s website.
