Baby Skylar Arielle Faniel

Baby Skylar Arielle Faniel was born April 30, 2020 at 6:50 a.m. in Saginaw, Michigan to Damus Parham and Armari Faniel. She lived for five weeks before God called her home to be with Him on June 9.

Skylar was a beautiful baby. She had gorgeous, silky hair, big brown eyes and a pretty smile with dimples to match. She enjoyed eating, bath time, being outside and sitting in her swing. During her precious five week stay, she touched the lives of many, and she will always be remembered as our “Princess Sky.”

Skylar was preceded in death by her grandfather, Charles Donald; great-grandparents, Jim Faniel, Robert Harris, Rufino and Lilia Rivera.

She leaves precious memories with her parents, Damus Parham and Armari Faniel; sisters, Ariyae Lyles, Brazil Doster; grandparents, Samone Gochett, Shon Faniel, Venus (Taurus) McDole, Sabrina Crockett; great-grandparents, Lois Faniel, Sharon (Richard) Smith, Stella Johnson; godparents, Alexis Crockett and Catarina Juarez; aunts, ShaMya Koger, Antanasja Battle, Sahmera Givhan, Avianna Faniel, Saniyah Donald, Ta’Nasia Faniel, Anhelica and Kelis Crockett; uncles, Christopher Givhan, Kameron Faniel, Jordan Jones, DeQuavion Parham, Tyrus McDole, Joseph Berrien; special aunts, Nicole Johnson and Sherrandra Faniel; many cousins and other relatives that loved her dearly.

The family would like to express special thanks to Covenant Healthcare PICU, Ivan E. Phillips and the Staff of Paradise Funeral Chapel.
