Forrest Haven Wilson

December 25, 2019 - January 1, 2020

Racine-Forrest Haven Wilson, December 25, 2019-January 1, 2020. In September of 2018, we lost our son, Hunter, due to a very rough delivery and being born premature at 23 weeks. So when we found out we were expecting our second together, we were scared, yet over the moon excited. As the pregnancy progressed, we had no reason to believe that it could happen again. So, on Christmas Day 2019, when I started having contractions at 24 weeks pregnant, we immediately went to the hospital. Forrest Haven was born at 11:08 pm on Christmas Day. His due date was Easter Sunday, April 12, 2020, born 15 weeks premature. Forrest was immediately taken to the NICU at Ascension All Saints where he fought for his life for an entire week. He passed away in my arms on New Year’s Day, January 1, 2020, at 5:00 pm. He put up such a good fight and truly showed Mommy and Daddy what it means to be strong! Forrest is survived by his mother and father, Amanda Peterson and Norman Wilson III; his older brother and sister, Norman IV and Sadie; maternal grandparents: Wilma (Ben) Choice and Glenn Peterson; paternal grandparents, Maureen (Norman) Wilson II; great-grandfather, Raymond Peterson; and great-grandmothers: Carol Fails, Frances Pivek, and Edna Wilson; as well as countless other loving family members. He is joined in Heaven by his brother, Hunter. So, until we meet again our sweet angels, watch over us and take care of one another. “Never Gone, Never Far, In our hearts is where you are.” A memorial service for Forrest will be held at the Wilson Funeral Home on Friday, January 10, 2020, at 6 pm with Colleen Vice officiating. Family and friends are invited to a time of visitation at the funeral home on Friday from 5 pm until the time of service. Forrest’s parents would like to extend a special thank you to all the amazing staff at the Ascension All Saints NICU for their loving and special care for Forrest.
