Daron Jean Baptiste
Daron Jean Baptiste, age 13, died on Saturday, July 1, 2017, at Boston Children’s Hospital in Boston, MA after a long battle with Medulloblastoma.
Daron was born on November 26, 2003, in Boston, MA, to parents Hairs Jean Baptiste and Bernadette Jean Baptiste. Daron loved science and thinking of new inventions that he could send over to Shark Tank. He also loved technology and recently began showing interest in coding. Even as a young child Daron always displayed a great deal of faith, he loved the Lord and spread the Gospel to those who would listen. Although his battle with Medulloblastoma was long, Daron fought hard, he never complained and simply longed to be with his peers.
During his time on earth Daron has touched many lives. He is survived by his parents Hairs and Bernadette, his older brother Johnathan, his younger sister Heraphie, an abundance of aunts and uncles, a plethora of cousins.
Throughout this journey Daron’s family have been greatly supported by various groups of people Daron has left an impact on. His parents would like to extent their everlasting gratitude to the Soul Seekers for Christ Ministry, Holbrook Public School District Staff, bluebird bio, and the Town of Holbrook for their continued love and support during his battle.

There are no words that can even begin to express our heartfelt sorrow. Daron walked into my life one fall morning as "little 4th grader" and from that moment on I grew so much as person. He taught me strength, kindness, laughter, and most importantly faith. I see where he gets it from as I have had the chance to share this journey with your family and friends. God placed you here for a reason. To make us all better people. But He Must have felt your work here was done and brought you home where you can now rest easy. We will keep mom, dad, Jonathan and FeFe close by us daily. And we will make you proud by living your example. I miss you so much already but I am blessed that you felt we were "family". Rest easy Daron. You deserve peace. Miss Sheila, Bob and family

I'm so sorry Daron this happened to you. I never knew that I was your Godsister up until yesterday. July 8, 2017 was a tragic day for me. I have been longing for a big brother my whole life and you were the closest thing to that. And I never knew that. I'm so sorry you had to go. I never met you. I wasn't even able to go ro your funeral and I feel so badly. I don't know if our godfather or godmother ever told you that you had a godsister but I definitely know that I was never told that. But your in a better place now. See you most definitely in 10,000 years!!! 😢🤧
