Omarizus NaeVontae and Omarious NyiVonte McCray Battle

With heavy hearts and profound love, we celebrate the brief yet beautiful lives of our beloved twin sons, Omarizus NaeVonte McCray Battle, born Sunday, February 23, 2025, and Omarious NyiVonte McCray Battle, born on Monday, February 24, 2025. On Tuesday, February 25, 2025, they peacefully returned to the arms of Jesus, surrounded by the boundless love of their parents and family.

In their short time here on earth, Omarizus and Omarious brought immeasurable joy and light into our lives. Their unique personalities shone brightly, leaving an everlasting impact on all who loved them. Though their time was brief, their love and spirit will forever remain in our hearts.

From the very beginning, these precious boys shared an extraordinary bond. During the five months in their mother’s womb, it was believed they were fraternal twins. Yet, in a beautiful mystery that left even the doctors amazed, they were discovered to be identical, and extraordinary blessing that only deepened the miracle of their lives. True to their bond, Omarizus made his arrival first, and shortly after, Omarious followed, unwilling to leave his brother’s side.

Though placed in separate rooms in the NICU, their connection remained unbreakable, a testament to the powerful love between them. They fought bravely and showed us the strength of their spirits. In God’s infinite wisdom, He had a different plan, calling them home to His eternal peace. Before we said our tender farewells, we were gifted with precious moments and a beautiful photo shoot; memories we will treasure forever.

Our WONDER TWINS have left an indelible mark on our hearts. Though our time together was far too short, we are eternally grateful to God for blessing us with them. Our lives are forever changed by their love.

Omarizus and Omarious leave behind a loving family who will cherish their memories always; their devoted parents, Ms. Angel McCray and Mr. Chauncey Battle of the home; maternal grandmother, Ms. Dawn Warren of High Point, NC; maternal grandfathers, Mr. Donnie Marshall of High Point, NC, and Mr. Dale Baldwin of Winston-Salem, NC; paternal grandmother, Ms. Divonya Battle of Raleigh, NC; bonus grandfather, Mr. Makeith Hedgepeth, Sr. of Raleigh, NC; paternal grandfather, Mr. Kendrick Perkins of Clayton, NC; great-grandmothers, Mrs. Brenda Mitchell (Kenneth) of Greensboro, NC, and Ms. Myra Whitehead of Greenville, NC; great-grandfathers, Rev.
