Sawyer Joshua Blanke, infant son of Joshua and Rachel Blanke passed away on Thursday, July 1, 2021, at St. Vincent Hospital in Green Bay. Born at 37 weeks, Sawyer weighed 6 pounds, 9 ounces and was 20 inches long. Though his time with us was brief, he was deeply loved and will forever live on in our hearts and memories.
Sawyer is deeply loved by his parents, Joshua and Rachel Blanke, Plymouth; his three sisters, Everly, Harper and Daisy; his maternal grandparents, Debra and Robert Steeb; paternal grandparents, Renee and Jeff Fritz; Uncle and Aunt, Tyler and Bessie Blanke.
He is being greeted in Heaven by his Great Grandfather and Grandmother Hubert and Evelyn Blanke, Great Grandfather Albin Kornetzke and Great Grandmother Barbara Markusch.
Though Sawyer is no longer with us, he will forever be apart of our family and in our hearts. We will always remember Sawyer’s cute chubby cheeks and the close resemblance he shared to his big sister, Harper. His sisters were so incredibly excited to have a little brother, kissing Rachel’s belly everyday and talking to Sawyer.
You are forever loved and cherished, our sweet baby boy. We love you.
Sawyer’s family will privately remember him and would like to extend their gratitude to family and friends who have reached out to help them during this difficult time.
