Diahni Adore Cotham-January 18, 2026.

Diahni Adore Cotham, a cherished and beloved infant, entered this world and departed on the same day, January 18, 2026, in Nashville, TN. Though her time on earth was brief, her impact on the hearts of her family was profound and everlasting. Diahni's presence was a gift, and her memory will be treasured as a symbol of love and the preciousness of life.

Born to Denecia Cotham and Derrick Sweatt Jr., Diahni was enveloped in love from the moment of her arrival. Her grandmothers, Doretha Cotham and Jalonda Holman, and grandfathers, Marvin Cotham and Derrick Sweatt Sr., anticipated her birth with joy and were blessed to embrace her, however briefly. Diahni's aunt, Dominica Cotham, and uncle, Marlon Cotham, along with a host of other family members, aunts, uncles, cousins, and family friends, were ready to welcome her into a world filled with affection and warmth.

In her short time here, Diahni Adore Cotham became a symbol of unity and love, drawing her family closer together in their shared anticipation and celebration of her life. Her name, chosen with care, reflected the adoration and esteem in which she was held. Diahni, meaning divine, was truly a heavenly blessing to all who were eagerly awaiting her arrival. Her middle name, Adore, was a testament to the deep affection and high regard that her family felt for her from the very beginning.

As we bid farewell to Diahni Adore Cotham, we reflect on the beauty and fragility of life. Her family takes solace in the belief that she is now cradled in the arms of angels, watching over them with the same love that was poured into her all too short life. Diahni's time on earth will forever be a poignant reminder of the love that can flourish in the heart of a family, even in the briefest of moments.

The Cotham and Sweatt families wish to express their heartfelt gratitude for the outpouring of love and support they have received during this time. As they navigate this period of mourning, they find comfort in the knowledge that Diahni Adore Cotham's spirit will forever be a part of the fabric of their lives, a delicate thread woven into the tapestry of their family story.
