Renesmee Hawk Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Martin & Hightower Funeral Home - Carrollton on Mar. 6, 2026.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Renesmee "Nessie" Diamond Diana Hawk, who left this world far too soon on March 1, 2026. Nessie was born on June 5, 2023, in Carrollton, Georgia, and though her time here was brief, the light she brought into the world was bright and unforgettable.

In her two short years, Nessie lived with the kind of joy only a little child can bring. She had a beautiful smile that could instantly brighten a room and a playful spirit that made everyday moments feel special. Nessie loved to play, especially with her favorite ball, and she delighted in dressing up and exploring the world around her. One of her favorite little adventures was getting into her "nini's" makeup, proudly showing off whatever colorful creation she had made. Wrapped up in her favorite blankets, she brought warmth, laughter, and sweetness wherever she went.

Above all, Nessie shared a special bond with her older brother, Christen Hawk. The two spent their days playing side by side, and the love they shared was simple, pure, and full of the kind of happiness only siblings can create together.

Nessie is survived by her mother, Allison Hawk; her father, Matthew Williams; and her beloved brother, Christen Hawk. She is also survived by her grandparents, Amanda Hatcher, John Henry Kidd, Rebecca White, Samuel Crews, Terry Williams, and Barbara Huiel, along with many extended family members who will forever cherish the memories she left behind.

She was preceded in death by her great-grandparents, Alice and Bobby Sprouse.

A celebration of Nessie's life will be held on Sunday, March 8, 2026. The family will receive friends at Martin & Hightower Funeral Home at 1:00 PM, with the funeral service following at 2:00 PM, officiated by Pastor Willie B. Kidd. Interment will follow at Antioch Baptist Church Cemetery in Franklin, Georgia, with Samuel Crews, Casey Summerville, and Michael Prophett serving as pallbearers.

Though her life was short, Nessie's laughter, curiosity, and bright little spirit will never be forgotten. She leaves behind precious memories that will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

Messages of condolence may be shared with the family at www.martin-hightower.com. Martin & Hightower Heritage Chapel is honored to serve the Hawk family.
