A Celebration of the Life of Azrael Edward Davenport

On September 18,2026, the world became a little quieter and our hearts became a little

heavier as we said goodbye to our precious Azrael Edward Davenport, lovingly known by so

many as Baby Eddie.

Azrael Edward Davenport, age 1 was born August 29, 2025, in Fairfax, Virginia, to his loving

parents, April Scott and Damien Davenport. Although his time with us was far too short, the

love, joy, and smiles he gave will remain in our hearts forever. Azrael had the smile that

could light up any room. He was sweet, loving, and full of personality. He would go to just

about anybody, opening his little heart to everyone around him. When he wasn’t interested

in dealing with you, he would simply turn his little head away as if to say, “Not right now.”

But he would soon say in his head okay I’ll turn around now and hit you with that big,

beautiful smile and make everything alright again. Azrael was known to have many

different names. He was Baby Eddie, Azzy, Baby, and Cheeks, a nickname he earned

because of those adorable, chubby cheeks everyone loved. And then there was Momma’s

Sweet Cheeks, because he truly was the sweetest little boy. Each nickname carried its

own little piece of the love people had for him. Baby Eddie was his momma’s co-pilot on

the bus. He became well known and all the kids loved him; he gained one special

nickname from the elementary kids on his moms’ bus which was Simba because he was

so little when he became moms' copilot.

Azrael loved his mommy’s attention, especially when she rubbed his little feet. To him, it

was own personal spa treatment. If mommy stopped too soon, he would prop those little

feet right back up to let her know he wasn’t finished. Those little moments are now some

of the most precious memories his family will treasure forever. He loved watching Gracie’s

Corner, Lilo Stitch, Bluey and SpongeBob, playing with his family, and being loved by his

mommy. He especially loved spending time with his daddy. He would headbutt and fight

him every chance he got. He loved sitting beside his dad while he played on the Xbox; he

had his own controller even if they didn’t have batteries in it! He would sit there and tap the

buttons like he was playing; he just wanted to be a part of the fun.

His bond with his sister Taniyah was especially special. She loved him like he was her very

own baby, dressing him, doing his hair, changing his diapers, and sitting beside him, and

watching his favorite shows with him. They became best friends, and you could not

separate that special bond they had. He also enjoyed playing on his big brother's bed. He

would crawl around to the corner of the bed and reach out for his tv. Azrael enjoyed being

around his big brother watching him play the game, watching a movie with him, and smiling

when he was near.Then here comes Baby Eddie- a name that became so much more than a nickname. Azrael

was loved by so many people in the Loudoun County transportation department. He

became their baby, bringing smiles, laughter, and love wherever he went. So many people

watched him grow, loved him, and celebrated with him. His presence made a difference,

and his absence will be deeply felt.

There are no words big enough to describe the emptiness left behind by a child who was

loved so deeply. There will be moments when his family will look for him, listen to his little

sounds, or remember that beautiful smile. His favorite songs, shows, pictures, and

memories will forever bring both tears and smiles. Love keeps someone with us, even

when we can no longer hold them. Azrael was with us for only a short time, but he left a

forever sized love in our hearts. His smile, laughter, sweet spirit, stubborn little moments,

precious chubby cheeks, and those tiny little feet that always wanted another rub will

never be forgotten. Rest peacefully, our sweet baby. No more pain, No more tears, just

peace.

You were loved beyond measure, missed beyond words, and will be remembered beyond

time.

Forever Our Baby Azzy
