Baby Sawyer was anxious to see the world and was born on May 27, 2018 at 2lbs 15oz, although his due date was August 3, 2018. He spent over a month of his little life in the NICU at St. Luke’s Hospital. The family would like to thank the NICU for their wonderful and compassionate care of Sawyer. Although his time on this earth was short, Sawyer was a bright and beautiful baby and his friends and family will lovingly remember him forever. His sweet personality, strength, snorts, and cute little turned up nose will be remembered, along with his little feet and the way he slept with his arms above his head like his daddy. He loved his blankets, baths, and lullabies but most of all he loved his mommy and daddy.

Sawyer is survived by his parents Anthony Dowd and Sydney Wozny of Sioux City; maternal Grandma Missy Kunze; maternal Grandpa Dan Wozny; paternal Grandpa Robert Dowd; maternal Great Grandma Cindy Kunze; maternal Great Grandpa Rick Kunze and Ann; paternal Great Grandma Elizabeth Prochelo; Uncles: Seth Wozny, Jonas Langley, Mack Kunze-Adams, Jonathan Ryan, Corey Dowd, and Nathaniel Dowd; Aunt Samantha Dowd; Great Uncle Chad (Kim) Kunze; special Grandma Sheila Langley; special friends Allison and Steve; and lots of special great aunts, uncles, and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his paternal Grandma Amanda Ryan, Great Aunt Tammy Kunze, and Great Uncle Christopher Dowd.

In Lieu of Flowers, memorials may be directed to the family in Sawyer’s Memory. The next time you see a rainbow or bright star, remember Baby Sawyer and the love that he gave is his short little life. #SawyerStrong
