Master Romello "Mello" Jackius Hurd

Our beloved angel, Romello Jackius Hurd, affectionately known as “Mello,” gained his heavenly wings at
the young age of 2 on October 20, 2023. He was born on June 11, 2021 to parents
Robert Hurd and Shaundra Hughes in San Antonio, Texas.

Mello was a very loving child who had such a big heart. He was very active, inquisitive, and always
wanted to understand how things worked. His grandmother Greta, nicknamed him “Thundercat”
because you would frequently catch him running quickly around the house playing, laughing, and
terrorizing his older brothers.

He enjoyed watching Cocomelon, Baby Shark, Boss Baby, and many other popular cartoon series on his
tablet. He also loved to Facetime family and friends using his iPhone. He was known as the “little BIG
brother”, and was so full of life. Mello will forever be remembered in our hearts.

Mello is now joined with his heavenly family; his great-grandmother: Alice Mary Cooper, his greatgrandfather Robert Hughes Sr., his great-uncles: Michael Henderson, Clifton Hurd, Samuel Mooney, his
uncle: Michael Hurd, and aunt: Meshon Hurd.
