Weston Ford Bounds, born on April 23, 2026, entered this world surrounded by love and was called home to the arms of Jesus on April 24, 2026.

In the short 20 hours that he was here, Weston’s life carried a weight and meaning far beyond his time. From the moment he was born, he showed a strength that no words can fully capture. He was small but mighty, a little fighter who faced every moment with quiet courage. As his uncle Jake lovingly said, “Ford tough”—and Weston truly was.

He was the most beautiful baby, deeply loved from the very beginning. Weston was not alone for a single moment of his life. He was held, kissed, and spoken to by the people who loved him most. With each touch and every gentle kiss, he responded in his own way—soft sounds that felt like comfort, as if he knew he was safe, cherished, and deeply loved.

His mother carries him always, and in her own words: “Mama carried you inside my womb and I will carry you in my heart forever.”

Though his time on earth was brief, he brought together a family in love, grief, and devotion. His memory is held tightly by all who met him, even for a moment, because no one who saw him could forget.

Weston is survived by his mother, Amanda Bounds; his father, James Bounds; his big brother, Graysen; his Pops, Darren Bounds; his Mimi, Teresa Bounds; his Papaw, Steven Stone; his Mamaw, Melissa Stone; his uncles Josh Joshua Stone and Jakey Jacob Stone and wife Jenni Stone; his great papaw, James Stone; and many great aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Though he was only here for a moment, Weston will be held forever in the hearts of those who loved him. His absence is deep and unending, but so is the love he left behind. We know we will see him again and that is the wonderful belief in heaven. Until we meet again, sweet boy—you will always be missed, always be loved, and always be remembered.

A chapel service for Weston will take place Monday, May 11, 2026 at 1 PM at Graceland Memorial Gardens, 5989 Deerfield Rd, Milford, OH 45150.
