Wyatt Jameson Birch

Wyatt Jameson Birch, son of Leslie Ann Birch and Harvey Lonnie Birch, Jr., is in the arms of his Heavenly Father as of August 16, 2012. We were not given the opportunity to see him smile or to even see him open his eyes but no doubt he impacted our lives tremendously. He changed our lives. Leslie and I long for the day that we will all be reunited.

Wyatt lived within his mother’s womb for 9 months, and during that time, he made a lasting impact on the many that loved him and prayed for him. He was delivered at St. David’s North Austin Medical Center on August 16, at 8:15 p.m., weighing 7 pounds, 5 ounces. He had a cute button nose. Every treasured minute of his brief life inside the womb was sacred and was filled with love and joy. He passed peacefully inside the womb just hours before his long awaited debut. It was a short but very impacting life designed by his loving Creator.

Wyatt leaves behind his Mama, his Daddy, as well as grandparents Helen and Harvey Birch Sr. of Buda, grandparents Peggy and Terry Ferguson, of Buda, great grandmother Viola Hall of Austin, great grandmother Floy “Muttsie” Gober of Arlington, and great grandfather Hubert Gober of Arlington. He also leaves behind aunts, uncles, cousins, and many, many family members and friends who will always miss and love Wyatt.

Leslie and Harvey Birch would like to invite all to celebrate Wyatt and to celebrate life. A memorial will be held at Hays Hills Baptist Church (1401 North FM 1626 Buda TX 78610) at 2 o’clock on Friday August 24th, 2012. Immediately following the memorial, we will have a gathering to celebrate Wyatt at The Wild Onion Ranch (12112 Old San Antonio Road Austin, Texas).

A private family graveside service will be held Live Oak Cemetery in Austin, Texas, at a later date.

If you wish to honor baby Wyatt through a memorial gift, donations may be made to the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, a nonprofit organization that provides remembrance photography to parents suffering the loss of a baby with a free gift of professional portraiture. Leslie and I were introduced to them through a great friend who knows firsthand what we are going through and also the hospital staff which took such great care of us. We felt immediately blessed by the services they provided. We hope to help them continue their mission and bless other families going through what we have been through. There is an established link entitled “In Honor of Wyatt” on the following website, https://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org/donate/ . Please donate to this great cause in lieu of flowers or other gifts to the family.
