Robert "Cylus" Pruitt

Robert "Cylus" Pruitt, precious baby boy of Robert and Sarah Pruitt was born into the arms of angels at 2:04 p.m. on April 11, 2020 at CaroMont Regional Medical Center. Born at 33 weeks he weighed 4 lbs 13.7 oz and was 18 inches long. Although Cylus never spent any time with us on earth he was very loved and touched many lives. His big sister's Nevaeh and Makenzi made sure every day up until his passing that he knew how much he was loved. Our little angel will never be forgotten.

In addition to his parents and big sister's he is survived by maternal grandparents- Melissa Layel (Shane) and Daniel Silvers (Julia); Paternal Grandparents- Angie Helderman (Randy) and Lawrence Pruitt. Uncles Ryan Layel, Austin and Dalton Silvers, Aaron Freeman and Michael and Billy Helderman. Aunts Amber Brooks (Jimmy), Chelsea Turner (Jonathan), Emily and Natalie Silvers and Jessica Freeman. He has several loving great grandparents and other extended family that are also grieving his passing.

Robert and Sarah would like to personally thank Doctor Wade and Doctor Tibo and nurses Lori and Tonya, along with all the other nurses for all of their love, compassion and support during this very tough time. We will be forever grateful.

The family plans a private balloon release to commemorate and honor Cylus at a later date.
