Aayana Shyn Francine Patterson was born July 7, 2016 in Yankton to Aaron Francis Patterson and Amanda Rose Hernandez.

The beautiful little miss joined her two older siblings: big sister Aaralyn France Patterson and big brother Sakima Francis Patterson.

In her precious beautiful life of three years, one month and one week, Aayana touched a lot of hearts with her beautiful smile and just being her adorable self.

She always said hi to every beautiful soul she came across. When the beautiful souls departed from Aayana she would show compassion and tell you bye and top it off with blowing a kiss.

Aayana spent lots of her time playing with her many cousins and big brother Sakima. If she wasn’t playing with them, she would always be in someone’s arms. Our baby girl was such a character and always knew how to light up your day.

Aayana was welcomed into paradise by all her beautiful family waiting to meet, greet and comfort her.

She is survived by her daddy Aaron “Ace” Patterson, big brother Sakima, Great Grandmas Charlene, Ella, Shirley, G’mas Stephie, Eva, Marla; papas Mike Blaine, Ron Patterson and Samuel Sun; Auntie LaRon, and a very special Auntie Ari-Jade Marie; uncles Chance, Ron Jr., Evander, Laython and Luther Patterson; and many more who cherished her.
