Joshua Kane Wehnes Jr., the four-month-old son of Jacquelyn (Gravley) and Joshua Kane Wehnes, passed away March 16, 2017.
Services are pending.
“Joshua was an amazing little baby boy who touched everyone who met him,” his family said. “He was taken too soon from us to live in heaven as our angel. We love you very much Joshua Kane Wehnes Jr.”
Joshua was born Nov. 13, 2016. His family includes his parents, Joshua Kane and Jacquelyn Leeann (Gravley) Wehnes, of Sitka; sisters Cherish Ann Hamilton-Gravley and Madison Danielle Wehnes of Sitka; his grandparents Yvonne and Sean Welch of Juneau, Paula and Bruce Mathews of Sitka, Thomas Wehnes and Corrina Nakamura of Juneau, Felicitas Roman-Cruz of Juneau, and Michael and Carol Willard of Virgina; and great-grandparents Kathi Macari and Caroline and Victor Wehnes, all of Washington, and Joyce Hamilton of Virginia.
Also surviving are aunts and uncles Cassandra and Christian Hernandez of Sitka, Kimberley and Zach Alford of Virginia, Kyle Wehnes of Massachusetts, Todd Wehnes of Juneau, and Erica Porter of Juneau.
Cousins, including Riley, Eden and Knox Porter of Juneau and Jada and Isiah Alford of Virginia; and the Howard family of Sitka also survive.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Wehnes family memorial, by calling Steve Huddleson at 738-4269; or to the Meal Train, by calling Louise Olmstead at 738-1422.
