Born in Yreka, Sawyer was welcomed to the family by his big brothers, Tanner and Trevor. Sawyer spent his 16 short, but full, years in Scott Valley. From birth, Sawyer touched the lives of those around him. His magnetic personality, zest for life, and love for Jesus Christ exuded through his smile. Sawyer danced his way through life in constant motion and was always a source of joy for his family. Sawyer loved sports, Giants baseball and Duke basketball. Basketball was his passion whether it was playing it, talking about it, or watching it, everyone around him could see his love for the game. Backyard baseball with his brothers and cousins was a summertime favorite. For wintertime, it was indoor basketball in the living room where he would show his dexterity and passion. Sawyer also loved fishing with his family, tacos, pasta and 2 for $4 Big Macs and could eat a large ice cream on a 100 degree day, at the age of 2, without a drip. His love for Christ was quietly evident to all those who knew him. Sawyer loved kids and desired to one day be a Godly man and father. Sawyer had the ability to hold a conversation with the old and the young a like. Loved by many, missed by all, Sawyer will be in our hearts forever.
