Obituary of Tatum Liam Ronald Dains

A Celebration of Life for Tatum Liam Ronald Dains of Foley, MO will be held at a later date. Tatum, 23 days, was born on May 21, 2026 at St. Mary’s Hospital in St. Louis, MO, the son of Camren Ronald Dains and Kayla Dawn Schleappe Brooksher. Tatum was a warrior during his short life, passing away in his parents’ arms on June 13, 2026 at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital in St. Louis. At 2 weeks, Tatum was lifting his head. Tatum was adorable with his cute smile, blue eyes and strawberry blonde hair. He fought daily to stay on this earth. Tatum’s personality developed early on and he voiced his opinion on who walked into the room to poke him next. He was the little racecar driver to his mom and dad. Tatum was preceded in death by his great-grandparents, Patti and Dennis Dains. Survivors include his parents, Camren Dains and Kayla Brooksher; big brother, Tanner Brooksher; and grandparents: Jeanie and Josh Odaniel and Eugene and Michelle Bannister. Also remembering and loving Tatum are his great-grandparents: Alice Faye Hunter, Thomas Eugene Hunter and Vivian Brooksher; his aunt, Kayleigh Miller and her husband, Benjamin; his uncles: Codey Dains and his wife, Sabrina, and Anthony JR Brooksher; and his cousins: Alanna, Alycia, Zoey, Waylyn and Caysen.
