With hearts full of love, we remember Koa Leo Rickett, a precious child who graced this world for only a moment but will be carried in our hearts for a lifetime. Born and passed on April 25, 2026, Koa brought with him a depth of love that will never fade.
He is the beloved child of Briana Rickett‑Marquez and Mykeal‑Sian Saunders, who held him close in spirit long before his arrival and will forever hold him in memory. Though his time here was brief, Koa’s presence changed the world of those who awaited him with joy, hope, and endless affection.
Mommy carried you with love; now we carry you in our hearts.
