Ezekiel Cotto-Saintfleur's Obituary
A GoFundMe has been created in Ezekiel’s honor, and any donations received to support Ezekiel’s family during this incredibly difficult time will be profoundly appreciated:
Ezekiel Cotto-Saintfleur passed away March 8, 2024. He was 22 months old. From the moment he was born in Lakeland on April 29, 2022, Ezekiel brought so much love and light to his family, who lovingly called him, “Toosie.”
Toosie was a sweet, loving boy. He had a beautiful, radiant smile and compassionate heart. He was full of energy, ready to dance and bring joy to everyone around him. He loved Spiderman, dinosaurs, and cars. He loved animals and showed so much kindness and patience toward them. He loved giving his cousins kisses.
Ezekiel will be forever loved and remembered by a multitude of family and friends, as well as others who, despite not having met Ezekiel in person, will know and honor his legacy.
Ezekiel “Toosie” is survived by his mother, Iliana Nyli Cotto; Uela Diana Rivera; Grandfathers Thomas and Victor; Aunts Autumn, Haley, Aleah, Alanna, Amelia, and Naomi; Uncle Jayden; and numerous cousins and extended family members.
Ezekiel will be laid to rest with a graveside service at 11:00 AM on Friday, March 29, 2024, at Serenity Gardens Cemetery, 3350 Mall Hill Drive.
