Abdoul Malick Sillah

SUN PRAIRIE- Abdoul Malick Sillah, age 16, of Madison, passed away on Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2020. He was born on April 17, 2003, in Madison, the son of Momodou Sillah and Paula Carter. He was known affectionately by many names including 'Poo Bear' and 'Li`cks'. Malick loved to be with his family and would give his last breath for the ones he loved. He enjoyed many family camping trips and expressed great pride when it came time to naming trees and building a campfire without matches. During his time outdoors he developed a passion for wood carving and fishing however once in the house... it was game time... literally! He was always up for the next NBA2K20 gaming challenge as he showed off his modified players and their skills. Malick had an eye for designer fashion and would always pick out the most expensive clothing and shoes when shopping. He had a unique soul, and expressed this in his love for art, music and original sense of style. Malick enjoyed going against the grain, as 16 year olds do, and rooted for every team that played against the Green Bay Packers just to get a rise out of his Packer loving mother. He will truly be missed by so many. Malick is survived by his parents; brothers, Jordan and Alexander Johnson and Xavier Sanders; sister, Marionna Sillah; grandparents; Bruce and Donna Skaro, Paul and Joan Carter and Mary Sarr; great-grandmother, Betty Porter; aunts, Angela Hoke and Jenifer Carter; uncles, Steven and Michael Carter and Ahmad Sillah; cousins, Jason, Anthony, Austin, Devvin, Trevor and Gavin; and numerous great-aunts and great-uncles. He was preceded in death by grandfather, Abdoul Sillah; and great-grandparents, Donald and Merlin Carter and Roy Porter; and his adopted brother of the heart, Aaron Johnson.
