Malakia Witt Obituary

Mali was just weeks shy of her 25th birthday when she passed. Gone with her is her son, Zaiden Elroy Cole, who was just 6 1/2 when they unexpectedly passed.

Mali was a sweet girl who had a kind heart and a beautiful smile. She had bright hopes through the future and did her very best for his son despite the challenges.

They may not be with us anymore, but their spirits will live on.

On her Fathers side of the family, She leaves behind: Her Dad, Rasheed Gazi (formerly Chris McBride), two *sisters, Jasmine and Aaiza (Bee); her Grandmother, Cat Seward-Pedro; Aunt's Miranda, Patricia and Brandi; Uncles Joshua and Dylan; and countless cousins.

Nikola Tesla once said, ' If you only knew the magnificent of the 3, 6 and 9, I think you would have the key to the universe.'

Malakia will be buried on March 17, 2026.

March=3, 7-1=6, 6+3=9, and 6+2=8.

Baby girl has a key to the universe and her spirit lives on- 3-6-9 infinity 💫

We love you sweetheart, rest easy. 💗

“After the final time we messaged, I had so much going on. I couldn’t bother people with that- especially not you. I was burnt out for months and it took me several months after that to get back to my baseline. Then last summer happened and I was advocating against my city and its housing provider and then a lawsuit happened- and I know I’m going to win that- but I never mentioned it. But I always had you and Zai on my “if I win” list- I should have told you, and now I can’t. 😭”

In hindsight, I wish I had reached out and checked in on you, and I’m left feeling like I didn’t do enough- but I promise you I will make sure to keep your memory alive. 💫”
