Support Michael Mallinson Jr's family after tragic loss

My best friend and her husband tragically lost there baby boy June 14th 2025. Michael aka Bubs was there whole world. He was so loved, there are no word to explain this horrible tragedy but let's keep rallying around this family and try help them by praying, supporting and if you can donating, to help them financially. They would never ask for help but in this tragic time it is needed. Mike, Jen and Makayla need our help to get through this. Here are his Mama's words about losing there baby boy.

My heart is broken & I don’t know how to go on without my baby boy. He was on his way home with his best friend, with his best friends sister and bro in law driving, and his bffs baby nephew all in the car. My sweet baby boy was texting me he was almost home he loved me and I said I loved him and wear your seatbelt 2x. This boy is my whole world. We don’t know all the details but the driver senselessly hit the car my bubba boy was in, taking my whole world in an instant in Marysville, his best friends sister and bro in law are gone and his best friend is in the hospital as well as his baby nephew. I knew something was wrong when my son wasn’t texting me back, he knows if his phone dies to get ahold of me on his friend phone cuz I will worry. My husband was in Hawaii working (had only been there a week) I got a phone call, and from a kid he was scared and said there was an accident. I immediately screamed where is my son I need to talk to my son, my heart was heavy and I knew. I hung up on him called my husband who immediately called the cops and got the news. My best friend Kara and 2 of my friends/ pastors meet me on the side of the road, it was actually right in front of sis dance studio when I received the most heart shattering news that my almost 6’4 tall bubba boy, love of my life, my everything was in the arms of our Savior. The pain I feel is something no human can fathom, and Im really struggling to be honest. I’m not one to put my info on social media especially these past couple years, but I felt like this was needed.. last night a candlelight vigil was set up at his high school from his childhood bff and his amazing besties these group of boy are so close they where family. Last night was incredible, hundreds of people came to honor my baby. The support we have been shown , love and strength is beyond anything I could ever imagine. Thank you everyone. You have no idea how much this means to me. I’m a mess I’m all over the place, and one min I think I can do this, the other I’m barely able to take my next breath.. my husband was on the first flight home and has been the most incredible man of God and he is holding me up.. my daughter is absolutely devastated her bubba boy is no longer here, although they fight they loved each other so much. I really don’t know how to go on, the guy who caused this from what I heard is in the hospital I don’t know details I don’t think I’m strong enough to hear, but I will walk in forgiveness (at some point right now, IDK ) but Jesus is so good and He will get us through this, one breath at a time, one minute, one step. I’m fragile, I’m broken and my heart is no longer on this earth. Jesus please let my baby boy know that I will carry on in his honor and make him proud. When I’m strong enough I will at to continue to honor him and share his life, and maybe share the journey of learning to go on after the loss of my first born. I know too many parents have dealt this this, it’s just not fair but God works it all out for the good of those who Love Him.

Michael Davis Mallinson jr aka bubs, Bubba boy my heart and soul, I love you with every fiber of my being, you make me so proud and always have, always will. To his friends, share stories please, come by his house, even if you don’t have words we can sit and just grieve, laugh cry, be angry & most importantly love and find the strength to keep going for my son. My son was a forever mamas boy, and the stories of him calling me (he callled and texted a lot) mama i need you is what he always said. Keep telling them to me, I need them. I love hearing all the stories of my boy.

I know this is long, and the last thing I thought I would do but I need to get it out, and after the beautiful night I felt like it was time.

As cliché, as it sounds, parents, hold your child so tight and don’t sweat the small stuff, love hard and always tell them how much they mean to you, I hope my son knew. I wish I could hold him tight and give him all the love in the world. Man, mom guilt is real, but I know he knew he was so loved and forever my baby boy.

Thank you to my family & friends feeding us, loving us, praying for us, and holding us up. Thank you, is not enough. Today is going to be a hard day please pray as we navigate these next steps of putting my bubba to rest.

He had his big blue baby blanket wrapped around his neck when I dropped him off, (if you knew him he loved that thing since he was a baby, and I yelled bubs your taking your blanket, he smiled yes mama, I’ll keep it safe. We are trying to get it back, I need it. But I’m thankful he had it!!

Watch lots of UFC, eat rasing canes, and get a fresh haircut, some new shoes ( he got a fresh haircut and a new pair of shoes the day before he left to sac with them) he was so excited for this sac trip, and part of me wishes I had said no, but I’m not going to do that, I can’t, Im so happy he was happy and had all the things he loves.

Michael, my bubba boy I love you, I’m going to try to be strong for you, and thank you for giving ur Dad, sissy & I the best years of our lives. We will never be whole again, but I will see you again you are in the most perfect place, with our Savoir and ur Great Grandma Val, Grandma Diane, Grandpa Keith, Great Grandpa. Take care of my baby boy, give him all the tickles and back rubs & head scratches. My baby, I love you to infinity and beyond. I’m going to get my first tattoo that you wanted dad and I to take you to get on your 18th birthday, or something to honor you. I love you, till I see you again my angel baby. Mama loves you & so does dad & sis and so many others you are so dang loved. Last night was just absolutely beautiful, I know your smiling down on us.
