Malakhai Logan Patterson

Malakhai Logan Patterson, five months old, of Charlotte, NC, passed away on February 6, 2026.

Malakhai was born in Charlotte, NC on September 2, 2025 to Ayupa Bravo and Michael Patterson.

At five months old, Malakhai was cared for, cherished, loved, and will forever be loved. He was a smiling, active, playful baby, full of life, with loving eyes for his mommy and a strong gaze, as his proud daddy would say. Shortly after starting to crawl, his gums were already beginning to bother him with teething. Just a week before his passing, he had said "Dada," and every time he cried, he would say "Mami". As parents, we are so proud to have had you with us, my love. Although your time with us was very short, we will continue to love you, Daddy's little bubba, hijito amado.

He is survived by his mother, father and family.

A memorial service will be held on Thursday, February 12, 2026 at 1:00 pm at Raymer-Kepner Funeral Home in Huntersville, NC.

Raymer-Kepner Funeral Home & Cremation Services is caring for the Patterson family. Condolences and memories may be shared at www.KepnerFH.com
