John Peyton Wilch IV

It is with heavy hearts that we honor and say goodbye to our precious baby boy, John Peyton Wilch IV. He gained his angels wings on July 10, 2022 when he passed unexpectedly.

Johnny was born to Tierra Willis and John Wilch III on April 20, 2022, two months early. He spent two months in the NICU where he fought hard every day with determination to get strong and come home. We received the good news on June 15th that Johnny was ready to come home to start a new journey with his parents, Tierra, John and family. Johnny was a very happy little boy who loved to smile, go on walks with Mom and to be held by his Dad.
His siblings were so excited to have a new baby brother.

Older brother, Collin jumped in to lend a helping hand whenever he could and was over the moon to have a new little best friend.

Johnny was embracing life to the fullest with endless smiles and giggles. His one of a kind personality brought so much joy to the world. His positivity touched so many lives, even for his short time here. Johnny was our little sunshine and will be missed by so many.

Johnny is survived by his Mommy and Daddy, Tierra Willis and John Wilch; siblings, Collin Willis, Corbin Willis, and Caylee Willis; maternal granparents, Doug and Tammi Worthington, Steve Shepherd and Mitzi Edman; great-grandparents, Pam Brown, Bob and Benji Shepherd; aunts, Ashley Shepherd, Heather Williams, and Jossie Rankin; uncle Brandon Worthington; paternal grandparents, John II and Jarene Wilch; and aunt Jane Wilch.

He is predeceased by his great-grandpa Freeman Brown, Jr.; cousins Jacob Brown, and Megan Brown; great-grandparents Irene Thompson, Bill Thompson, Jo Anne Wilch and John Wilch, Sr.
