February 7, 2019 - September 9, 2019
Heaven has surely gained an angel. Zeppelin Grey Abram was born four months prematurely on February 7, 2019. Not only was he born far too soon, he was taken from us far too soon. The night before, he was playing peek-a-boo and smiling so big. We were just waiting to hear him laugh out loud. Zeppelin passed peacefully in his home on Monday, September 9, 2019. In his short time here on Earth he impacted so many lives. He was truly a gift from God; overcoming so many obstacles in those early months and bringing so much joy to his new family.
He had so much personality from day one. His smile was contagious and the faces he would make kept us tickled. He was so strong and so curious. He loved to be the center of attention. He and his daddy liked listening to DMX and watching football games. He loved riding on Momma's hip while she cooked and cleaned. He loved going to the pool and park and taking walks. At home he watched "Peppa Pig" and at "Mamaw's" he liked watching "Little Baby Bum", listening to "Down by the Bay" and watching baseball with his" PawPaw". When his sister would hold him he couldn't take his eyes off of her. He adored his time with Trinity Grace.
He was born into five half-brothers and sisters and two step-brothers and sisters; tons of biological aunts and uncles; and non-biological family that loved him unconditionally.
In addition to his parents, Meika Hawkins Mora and Abdul Abram of Horn Lake, Mississippi; he is survived by his sister, Trinity Mora of Horn Lake, brother Adrian Mora of West Helena, sister, Kayelyn Rivera of Southaven, Mississippi, brother Dallas Rivera of Eudora, Mississippi; and brother, Layton McElroy of Bartlett, Tennessee; stepsister, Aliyah Abram of Horn Lake, Mississippi; stepbrother, Lucky Abram of Horn Lake, Mississippi; maternal grandparents, Robert and Joann Hawkins of West Helena; uncle, Robby Hawkins, Jr. and aunt, Jenna Hawkins of Lexa; aunt, Erika Hawkins of West Helena; and a host of cousins, great-aunts, great-uncles, and many other family and friends.
While we were prepared to see who he would grow up to be, God had other plans. There are no words to explain the heartache felt. Zeppelin will live on in the hearts of many and will always be loved and cherished.
