Oliver Hayes Peat

Baby Oliver Hayes was born on August 9, 2024, weighing 3lbs. 11 oz. Our baby boy passed away early Friday morning in our arms soon after birth due to his battle with Trisomy 18.

Trisomy 18 doesn’t come with a manual; it comes with a warrior who never gave up. We will never get to hear you laugh or giggle or see your little toes wiggle. There are many things we will never see and never get to do but the hardest thing is not being with you. Some only dream of angels…we held one in our arms.

A precious angel slipped away, no one heard a cry. No time for dad and mommy to sing me lullabies. My time with you was much too short. I had to leave too soon, but love had joined us as I grew inside my mommy’s womb. It wove its way within our hearts, in all our hopes and dreams, until the very purest love became my tiny wings. Although I could not stay with you. I knew right from the start, that once you felt your angels’ love, you’d keep me in your hearts. I’m just a little angel but my time was not in vain. As dark clouds that surround you give way unto the sun, my precious parents you will see that any heart will sing. If only for a moment it is brushed by angel wings.

Survivors include his parents, Brianna Barbara and Bailey Peat; grandparents, Tammy Vanbaarle, Charles Barbara, Jennifer Hall and Charles Peat.

Funeral services will be at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, August 17, 2024, in the chapel of Hayes Funeral Home, 10412 Highway 6, Hitchcock, Texas.  Interment will follow at Hayes Grace Memorial Park Cemetery.
