Cali Nichole Minor passed from this life March 19, 2023.  She was born September 19, 2003 in Lebanon, TN.

Cali was preceded in death by her grandmothers  Shirley Johnson, June Minor and grandfathers William Walter Johnson, John J. Minor. She journeyed into the next life with her son, Jayden Lackey.

She is survived by father Patrick Minor (Mandy Shade); mother Ginger Minor (Tammy Minor); sisters Casi Minor, Sammie Shade, Cassie Shade and many other beloved family member and friends.

Spontaneous, silly, and strong-willed, Cali knew what she wanted from life. Her dream of becoming a mother came true on October 19, 2022 and ended all too soon on March 19, 2023 with the loss of her own life along with her beautiful son Jayden. Cali had an excitement for life that she showed with exuberance and she ran full force into what she wanted. Her laugh and random sayings will echo on forever in the hearts of her loved ones. Cali gave her mom Ginger the gift of knowing a mother's love as she was Ginger's first curly-headed, vocal, energetic baby girl. She was so loved and she valued her family connections whether it was putting silly filters on pictures of her son with her younger sister Casi, calling her "cuzzys" to tell them about life, or experiencing life's adventures with her older cousins. She was surrounded by love, laughter, and fun. Cali had a way of letting those who loved her know that she felt and reciprocated their love and she will continue to live in their hearts.
