In Loving Memory of Colter Andrew Gempler
Born prematurely on Wednesday July 19th, 2023 and taken from this world too soon on Sunday July 23rd, 2023, Colter Andrew Gempler’s brief presence in our lives brought joy, love, and hope to all who knew him. With heavy hearts, we bid farewell to our little fighter, who bravely battled against the odds.
During his 23 weeks of life, Colter touched the hearts of his parents, Andrew and Shauniah Gempler, and all his family. Though his time on earth was short, the impact he made will last a lifetime, reminding us all of the preciousness of life.
Colter’s journey was filled with moments of strength and resilience, demonstrating a strength beyond his tiny frame. He taught us the true meaning of love, hope, and perseverance, as his parents stood by his side, supporting him with unconditional love throughout his time with us.
While we grieve the loss of this precious soul, we find comfort in knowing that Colter is now cradled in the arms of Jesus, free from any pain or suffering. He leaves behind a legacy of love that will forever echo in the hearts of those who cherished him.
As we gather to remember Colter Andrew Gempler, may his spirit live on in the love we share with others and the memories we hold dear.
Rest in peace, dear Colter. You have touched our lives in ways that words cannot express, and you will be forever missed.
