Hyrum Jacob Wiltbank

Hyrum Jacob Wiltbank was born Saturday, March 12, 2016 to Michael and Ashley Goodman Wiltbank of Eagar. He lived a glorious 3 hours and 34 minutes before returning to his Heavenly Father and family in Heaven. Hyrum was diagnosed with Trisomy 13 at 20 weeks gestation and was not expected to live long on this earth after birth. Hyrum's life was filled with complete love. He was welcomed by his parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins with open arms. He passed peacefully in the arms of his admiring parents. His life and time on earth was a priceless gift to them. The lessons he taught and the people he impacted with such a short amount of mortal time, has been inspiring. He is a valiant soul, who was willing to accept a short life and less than perfect body to fulfill his eternal purpose and bring family, friends and even strangers closer to God. His family feels as though he laid out a path for them for learning, growth and love. Hyrum is survived by his father and mother, Michael Shane Wiltbank and Ashley Goodman Wiltbank, his siblings, Michael "Grant" Wiltbank, Remington Elizabeth Wiltbank and Sawyer Clark Wiltbank, his paternal grandparents, Steven Alfred Wiltbank and Velda Allred Wiltbank and his maternal grandparents, Donald William Goodman and Donna Slade Goodman. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that check donations may be made out to the EMBRACE Foundation and be sent to PO Box 213 Eagar, AZ 85925. The EMBRACE Foundation is a non-profit perinatal palliative care organization that helped the Wiltbank family tremendously through this time.
