Liam Sterling Renwanz

“And to think the first thing he saw when his little eyes opened was the face of Jesus”

 Liam Sterling Renwanz was born into Heaven on July 18th, 2019 at 11:36 PM to parents, Cody and Leah Renwanz and brother, Brooks, at Broadlawns Medical Center.

In his short time with us, Liam only knew love. He never had his feelings hurt, felt scared from an Iowa thunderstorm, or knew the pain of a skinned knee or his first tooth poking through. Liam enjoyed kicking his mom, listening to his dad cheer for the Chicago Cubs, and numerous kisses from his big brother. He was embraced in love from the beginning and is now embraced in the love and arms of our Heavenly Father. We are blessed to have been chosen to be Liam’s parents and cannot wait until the day we are reunited in Heaven.

Those left on Earth to grieve are Liam’s parents - Cody and Leah Renwanz (Jefferson, IA). Brother - Brooks Renwanz (Jefferson, IA). Great grandmas - Kay Renwanz  (Scranton, IA) and June Destival (Marion, IA). Grandparents Bill & Terri Renwanz (Jefferson, IA) and Dave & Ginny Destival (Jefferson, IA). Aunts & Uncles - Alex & Tori Gettler (Jefferson, IA), Blake Renwanz (Jefferson, IA), Micah & Kelly Destival (Dike, IA), and Tommy & Miriam Augustin (Mason City, IA). Cousins - Alaina & Brady Gettler, Drew & Breyden Destival, and Asher & Luca Augustin. Many other extended family and friends.

Liam was joyfully welcomed in to heaven by his twin cousins - Addison & Emma Destival. Great grandparents - Harlan Renwanz, Bob & Carol Park, Delmon Destival, Rev. Warren Sterling & Irene Paige. Many great aunts and great uncles.
