Wyatt’s Story

Site created on June 3, 2021

Thank you for visiting our CaringBridge website! As we take on this new journey with our courageous and beloved Wyatt, we will keep family and friends updated on his progress and treatments. We greatly appreciate your support, your prayers and your words of encouragement. 

Wyatt has been diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of bone cancer. Our family is still in disbelief that our healthy teenager has to tackle an obstacle of this level. As no surprise, Wyatt’s positivity and confidence are continually shining through these times of uncertainty. 

We are encouraged by a strong team of doctors taking care of Wyatt. We are incredibly blessed with such wonderful and supportive family and friends. Please continue to lift up Wyatt in prayer. Thank you for everything.

With love and hope,

Emily, Jeremy, Wyatt and Makenna
