Whitley Ray Stewart was born April 2, 2026 in Washington, Kansas, at the Washington County Hospital, perfectly made by God and loved instantly by everyone surrounding him.

On April 17, 2026, at 8:45 am while being held tightly and loved on by his Mother and Father, he left his earthly body and was carried into his new body in heaven with Jesus holding his hand. His family was assured of this as he smiled with his last breath, knowing that all the healing that they had been praying for, had arrived. He was healed and is now in heaven.

He was loved here on earth by his Parents, Ty and Sierra Stewart, his siblings, Kaysen Blake and Paisley Suede, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and so many other family and friends.

He was met at the Golden Gates of Heaven by many family members that celebrated and cheered his welcome which brings comfort to those here still on earth mourning.
