Makhai Baker

January 12, 2017 - January 13, 2018

Makhai Baker was born on January 12, 2017, to the loving union of Jalisa Bryant and Michael Baker Jr. Makhai was a wonderful baby, he was the most perfect child, tears only when he was hungry or wet, laughter and smiles every moment. He literally was 10 pounds of perfection with a man bun. Chicago Child Care Society was “HIS” school, he was the only boy in his class. The classroom Makhai was in was affectionately named The Lady Bugs, Makhai was the King Beattle of The Lady Bugs. He was active and social in school, a charmer teachers enjoyed coming into the room to visit, the young man who walked at 10 months, never cried and was a joy to be around. Makhai‘s life was enhanced by his big sister Makylah. He was big sister Makylah’s own personal baby doll, they were joined at the hip. Nap time was followed with searching for his big sister, playing his favorite game peek a boo, and rough housing. His appetite was not that of the regular 1 year old, he loved potatoes and broccoli and fancy restaurants. Makhai traveled to Miami put his feet in the water, climbed two flights of stairs on Christmas Eve and gave everybody in the family a work out on a regular basis. On January 13, 2018, after a valiant struggle, Makhai Baker surrounded by his loving family closed his eyes and rested. Makhai will live forever in the hearts of those who love him his parents, Jalisa Bryant and Michael Baker Jr.; sisters, Makylah and Makya; brother, Shilen; grandparents, Sheila Bryant and Kween Ma Pkay, Michael (Debbie) Baker Sr.; great grandparents, Lillie Bryant and John Givens; and a host of other relatives.
