Sweet baby Ezra Lane Riter was born in the arms and hearts of his parents Mikala Lane and Joel Riter on March 10, 2025 at 6:12 pm in Oklahoma City, OK. Though this isn't the way they wanted to greet him on Earth, they are committed to honoring his legacy and loving him for eternity. His big brother My'Kai was also eagerly awaiting the arrival of his little brother to play with.
Looking forward with expectation to this child, Mikala and Joel had already began creating a space themed nursery in their home to welcome their new bundle of joy. They dreamed of rocking their precious son surrounded by calming hues of blues, rocket ship art work, and a special rug showcasing the planets. The parents' nurturing home environment, his big brother My'Kai, and encouraging extended family and friends would contribute to a solid learning environment for this young baby. A strong foundation would be fundamental in Ezra's future of confidence, hope, and peace.
When their world suddenly halted and these dreams and hopes stopped abruptly, Mikala and Joel did the only thing they could: hold and love their son for the time they could. Ezra's legacy will continue in their love for each other and for their son who will be rocked in Heaven until they can reunite with him again.
A private gathering in Ezra's honor will be held in the near future.
Ezra's family is lovingly cared for by Ingram, Smith and Turner Mortuary in Yukon, OK.
