Silas Charles Eldridge

December 24, 2025

Silas Charles Eldridge was born on December 24, 2025, at Hot Springs Memorial Hospital, weighing 7 pounds 6 ounces and measuring 19 inches long. Perfect in every way, Silas entered the world surrounded by love and warmth.

Though his time on earth was brief—Silas's life was filled with meaning. He was held, cherished, and deeply loved, spending his final moments peacefully resting in his mother's arms. In that short time, he forever changed the hearts of those who knew him.

Silas is the beloved son of Riley Ann Eldridge and Zane Philip Robert Smith. From his first breath to his last, he was wrapped in love, tenderness, and hope.

Ten tiny fingers, ten perfect toes,

A button nose, a face heaven knows.

So small, so warm, so deeply loved,

A fleeting gift from stars above.

For just nine hours, you were mine,

A lifetime held in borrowed time.

Born in love on Christmas Eve,

My sweet Silas, in my heart you live.

Silas will forever be remembered for the love he brought into this world and the imprint he left on the hearts of his family. Though he was carried for only a moment, he will be loved for a lifetime. A private family memorial service will be held at a later date. Online condolences may be made at www.bryantfuneralhomeonline.com.
