Dakota Lee Martin-Bleininger

Our beautiful Dakota Lee Martin-Bleininger was stillborn February 2, 2011, and called home to Heaven by our Lord Jesus Christ. He was born at Mercy Medical Center at Canton, Ohio. God decided he needed Dakota as an Angel in Heaven now instead of later.
Our lil’ Angel is survived by his mother Angela M. Bleininger of the home and his father Andrew M. Weber of Dover. Grandparents Ron and Melissa Bleininger of the home, Aunt Natasha Bleininger, Uncle Ryan Bleininger both of the home, and surrogate Uncle Zach Lyons of Dover. Great-Grandparents Bill and Barb Martin I of Bolivar, Great-Grandparents Lloyd and Louise Bleininger of Dover. Great-Uncle Bill Martin II of Bolivar, Great-Aunt and Great Uncle Jennifer and Robin Miller of Sugarcreek, Great-Aunt and Great-Uncle Toni and Kevin Evans of Mt. Giliead, and Great-Uncle David Bleininger. Also, numerous cousins, great-great aunts and uncles who were eagerly awaiting his time in this world, extended dear family and friends.
Dakota was preceded in death by aunts, uncles, cousins, and great-great grandparents who are rocking him in Heaven as we speak.
Friends are invited to call Friday, February 4, 2011 from 1-2 PM in the Geib Funeral Center at Dover where Pastor Chris Ewing will lead the funeral service for baby Dakota at 2 PM. Private interment will follow in Bolivar’s Fort Laurens Cemetery.
We give a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Domingo and his staff, Dr. Rajabi and his staff, the Maternity Ward staff, especially Cheryl, Bre, Kathy, and Janice, Chaplin Janice in Pastoral Care and the rest of the staff at Mercy Medical Center, and Dr. Mirhaidari and his staff. The compassion, care and determination throughout his development, delivery and beyond was far more than first class. Also to Pastor Chris, from Foursquare Gospel Church of Dover for praying with us and for Dakota, and for officiating his service. In lieu of flowers we ask that donations be made to support Omphalocele Research which can be handled through The March of Dimes, 5425 Warner Road Suite 10, Cleveland, OH 44125
