Waylon Terrence Kinywa
February 19, 2026 — February 19, 2026
Waylon Terrence Kinywa was born into heaven at 37 weeks gestation. Though his time on earth was brief, he was deeply loved and will forever remain in the hearts of his family.
Waylon was the beloved son of Peterson Kinywa and Shania (Waller) Kinywa. From the moment he was anticipated, he brought joy, hope, and excitement to those who awaited his arrival. Though he did not have the opportunity to grow in their arms, he will always be cherished as a precious gift whose life, however short, made a lasting impact.
Waylon is lovingly remembered by his parents; his siblings, Wayne Kinywa and Wairimu Kinywa; his grandparents, Tim and Karen Waller and Samuel and Rosaline Wambuu; his uncles, Codey Waller and Charles Murage; his aunts, Sierra Waller, Norah Murage, and Damaris Wambuu; his cousins, Adrian, Keylah, and Ellah Murage; his great-grandmothers, Damaris Nduta Karanja and Charity Wambui Murage; his great-grandfathers, Terrence (Sandy) McAllister and Bob Ostrander; and many great-aunts, great-uncles, and cousins who already loved him dearly.
He was welcomed into heaven by his great-grandparents, Wayne (Annette) Waller; his great-grandmother, Sharon McAllister; his great-grandfathers, Stanley Karanja and Murage Waweru; and his great-step-grandmother, Diana Freisinger.
Though Waylon never spoke a word or took a step, his life mattered deeply. He will always be remembered, always be loved, and forever be missed.

Peterson and Shania- there are no words to describe how sorry I am for the loss of your baby. Life is so difficult to understand at times and to make sense of the unthinkable. Saying prayers that bring you some peace
