Yahir Douglas Hobson-Moran, of Roanoke County, passed away Thursday, January 9, 2025.

Yahir was a beautiful baby and found joy in little things. He loved his zebra and giraffe mobile above his crib, he loved his cactus mimic toy, and he could not get enough of sweets. His father couldn’t eat anything sweet without Yahir wanting a taste. He also loved to sleep, but he refused to so if it was hot.

He is preceded in death by his grandfather, Antonio Moran; uncle, Alexis Moran.

Yahir is survived by his parents, Charles Hobson and Seiny Moran; siblings, Marvin Flores, Charles Hobson Jr., Keith Hobson, Seiny Cardona, Mia Sanchez, Alexis Sanchez, Aaliyah Hobson, Rihanna Hobson; grandmother, Yolanda Chinchilla; grandfathers, Bernard Hobson and Faye Hobson; aunts, Gabrielle Hobson and Martha Moran; uncles, Bernard Hobson Sr., Andrew Hobson, Raul Ortiz.

The family will receive family and friends Friday, January 31, 2025 from 2-4 pm at Lotz Funeral Home, 1001 Franklin Rd. Roanoke, VA. A celebration of Yahir's life will follow at 4 pm.
