Jace Canyon Alexander Gibbs
September 29, 2016 ~ November 3, 2016
“The death of a baby is like a stone cast into the stillness of a quiet pool; the concentric ripples of despair sweep out in all directions, affecting many, many people.” (John De Frain)
On Thursday, September 29, 2016, an angel, Jace Gibbs (Wright), came into this world. Although his stay here was brief, he touched many peoples hearts. Jace, born six weeks premature, remained at Alamance Regional Hospital until October 27, when his father, Jonathan, brought him home. Thus began the most cherished week of Jonathans life. On Thursday, November 3, God called his tiny angel home leaving a void that can never be filled.
Jace leaves to cherish his memory his father, Jonathan Wright; mother, Corienna Gibbs (Christian Biegar); paternal grandparents, Peter and Ann Wright; maternal grandparents, Walter and Bonnie Michael; sister, Destiny Robinson, and extended family and friends.
The family sends a heartfelt thank you to Nash County 911, Nash County EMS, Coopers Fire Department, Nashville Fire Department, Nash-UNC Emergency room staff, and Dr. David Brantley.

Lit a candle in memory of Jace Canyon Alexander Gibbs (Wright)
I want to send my deepest sympathy to the family of Jace Canyon Alexander Gibbs (Wright). The bible tells us we can gain comfort from God, even during times of sorrow. We pray to our heavenly father for help to cope with the sorrow felt from the death of a loved one. By prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. Philippians 46 May you find comfort by relying on our heavenly father and learning more about the blessings of God’s kingdom. Local ministry volunteer
Johnathon, Even though we do not know each other, I just wanted you to know you and your family are in my prayers as you travel this journey. I can actually tell you I know how it feels to lose a small child. As mine earned his angel wings last April. Hold on to the memories that were made just during that short time of his life. And always know God has his hands in everything that happens in our lives. Ask God for strength daily and he will surely give it to you. God Bless, The Armstrong Family Rocky Mount, NC
I’m so very sorry, may prayers from family and friends bring a measure of comfort. God knows and understands your pain. Psalms 628.
To The Parents, It was with great sense of sadness reading of, Jace Canyon Alexander Gibbs (Wright’s) death. I wanted to let you know that you have our greatest sympathy The death of a child has been described as the ultimate loss, and I imagine there is no pain more far-reaching and deeper than losing a child. Our heart and prayers go out to you and the family at this most difficult time You may find that for a time your emotions will be somewhat unpredictable tears may flow without much advance warning be patient with yourself. The Bible assures us God is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves. (Psalm 3418) With sincere sympathy may these understanding thoughts help somehow to convey the sympathy that hearts can feel but words can never say.
I do not know you, but please know that you and your family are being lifted up in prayer during this difficult time. May God bring you peace and comfort.
