Zayne was born April 5, 2014, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the son of Jordan and Christyna (Tabron) Miller. "Zayner Bug" had a rough start to life; he entered the world deprived of oxygen and he fought to be with his family. Zayne's fight continued for almost three strong years. He learned how to smile at five months old and never stopped brightening up the lives of everyone he met. "Zayner Bug" loved to take pictures and play games like peek-a-boo. Zayne was full of life, love and joy.
He gained his wings peacefully in his sleep. Zayne will forever be loved and missed. He has touched the hearts of many people and constantly amazed everyone. His loved ones are finding peace in knowing he has been freed from his broken body and is now able to run and play like he has always wanted to. Heaven gained a beautiful angel.
