Aizen Amaris Jenkins

Aizen Amaris Jenkins was born on March 19, 2020, in Knoxville, Tennessee, to Jallisa Streets and Marico Jenkins. He was so resilient and had the strength of a hero. His presence filled the room with laughter and joy. In Aizen’s brief time here, he loved to play with trains. He loved Thomas and Friends, loved Thomas the Train songs, and loved to sing them. His favorite trains were Thomas, Percy, and Toby. He loved to ride carousels and to go to the park. He loved to do arts and crafts with his mom. He was loved by his parents, grandparents, doctors, and nurses. He will be greatly missed!

Aizen departed this life on February 19, 2025, at 1:59 PM in his mom’s arms at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital in Nashville Tennessee after struggling with end-stage renal failure disease.
