Kingston Elijah Prince
June 5, 2025 – July 17, 2025
With broken hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved baby, Kingston Elijah Prince, who left us far too soon July 17, 2025, at just 6 weeks old.
In his short time with us, Kingston brought immeasurable joy, light and love into our lives. Though his stay on Earth was brief, he will forever live on in the hearts of those who love him.
Kingston was born June 5, 2025, a beautiful blessing who touched everyone with his innocence, soft coos, little flailing arms and legs and tiny, perfect presence. In those few precious weeks, he taught us the purest form of love and reminded us of life’s fragility and beauty.
He is preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, John Chris Jenkins.
Kingston is survived by his loving parents, Whitley Aaliyah Jenkins of Martin and Billy Ray Prince Jr. of Inez; maternal grandparents, Felicia Ann Jenkins of Wheelwright and Amos and Alexandria Staton of Inez; and paternal grandparents, Duranda Jones of Inez and Billy Ray Prince of Kermit, West Virginia. He is also survived by aunts and uncles, Jathan (Haley) Jenkins and Bayli Jenkins of Martin, Joe and Tonya Jenkins of McDowell, Danielle Keens of Hi Hat, Brayden Prince, Kennith (Max) Smith, Hannah and Caleb Staton, all of Inez; cousins Jeremy, Tyler, Alexavier, Emily, Nathan, Karson and Arianna; great-grandparents; and a host of other family and friends who cherished and love him dearly.
Although our arms are empty, our hearts are full of love for you, sweet Kingston. You will always be our precious angel.
