They expected a call Christmas Day.
Instead, on Friday they got a knock on the door. The 36-year-old soldier, born on the Fourth of July, was killed Friday by a roadside bomb that struck his vehicle.

I saw the name Cheyenne at work today and it reminded me of a childhood friend named Chris in Illinois in the 80s. I remember we both laughed because we went by our middle names. I decided to look you up to see what was going on.
Very saddened to see you had passed in the line of duty over two decades ago.
I only knew you for a short time 40 years ago but remember a fun, adventurous, always positive kid. The fact that you still came to mind after hearing your name shows you were a special person that anyone would be honored that you called them your "friend".
Thank you for all you did for this country and for, even for a short time, calling me friend.
RIP Chris

I was so sad when a few days ago found out that the nice friend I met back in 1993 working at Golden Gate Auto Auction in Fremont had oast away in 2005. I always wondered what happened to him? He was a painter and i was a driver. He was always such a nice, funny and caring friend. Always had a smile on him. I was hoping to find him one day in Facebook like i ve found so many friends but now i know that i wont find him. Very sad but i know GOD always take the best people. You ll always be in my thoughts and thank you for your friendship.

It's been over 10 years since Sgt. Willey passed and my husband, John Cole has been consumed with grief, and not managing well until the last couple years. The day Sgt. Willey died, it was my husband that was supposed to have gone in that humvee, not Willey... Being young and fresh in combat, Willey's death impacted my husband greatly and sent him down a path that only God could turn into a testimony. Like the others who shared their memories of this special man, my husband too harbors the loss of a dear friend and is now ready to step into the next phase of his mourning and pay his respects to Sgt. Willey. If anyone knows where he has been laid to rest, please contact me so I can help my husband fulfill his need for closure.
Thank you,

Hello! My name is Cheyenne (I'm a girl though) and my senior Government class at Winfield City High School (Winfield, AL) is finding fallen soldiers we share a name with and I found Mr. Cheyenne Willey. I plan to persue a career in animation and my current favorite things are cookies, anime, cartoons, and any form of art. I'm not really sure how much I share with him on those things though. I've been reading on what he has done and I am very glad that he has faught to protect the United states and I am sad to see that it has taken his life but I know that whatever he is doing now he's happy and the U.S. is greatful to have been protected by such a brave young man. If you would like to repond to this message, I would love to hear from you!

Stacy and Ms. Willey, I am sorry it took me so long to do this. I am sorry for your suffering. Cheyenne was a huge part of shaping my life. i love him very much and miss hanging out with my buddy. he was an awesome friend and brother. if there is ever anything i can do for the willey family please let me know. my everyday email is: [email protected] Cheyenne got out of the army the first time because he wanted to take care of him mom and big (though little) sis and her kids. he might have been crazy but he always was in control and knew what was right and important to him. that was family! i am praying for you all! Love John Kimball

Well Brother, it has been 5 long years since that day. I sure wish sometimes that it had been me. You (even in your humorous silence) seemed to find the good in all people. You would continue to be much older than I at this point. I believe that you would already be the big 41 at this point. I miss talking to you and hearing all the old "Division" stories. We will again all be together there. I always know that you will have our "6." Until we meet again, Brother.

In Memory of Cheyenne ~ (Debra Estep)
January 1, 2009
Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Cheyenne, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

This time last year I was remembering the two of you at Pearl Harbor. Now, I'm right back where we were before...Baghdad. It's a new company now, but those of us who were part of the company then stopped to remember you both on the 23rd. Merry Christmas.

Veteran's day. I met and spent a month with Willey at Fort Bragg in preparing to deploy to Iraq. Once deployed, we were assigned to different sister companies. I knew him for such a short period of time but he left a lasting impression on me. When I received the news on that December day I said, "No, no- not him." The next day when our company traveled across Baghdad for a tribute to him and Gina at his company's base camp, the loss really hit where it hurts most- the heart. Willey was a good man. Should the Lord place me in the same category, hope to see him there. Wish his family the very best.

Okay today is another one of those days..I remember last nite while out to sushi with the kids. I realized it was three years ago today that was the last time we all were together before you deployed out..We were celebrating Tims 50th..You were not going to be there at first you were supposed to be in Ft Bragg.. something got messed up with your plane tickets and you were able to be there for the suprise party..And oh what a party it was..It was so fun and now I see there was a reason for the mess up on the plane tickets. It was meant for you to be there with us and have that wonderful gathering and having fun and taking lots of photos..I miss you on that anniversary and the anniversary of your death..You are greatly missed and dearly loved...Always in our hearts and thoughts..Take care love you

Well, so much has happened and life really does seem to "Go On" as they say. I still think of you every day and night. I dont think that well ever change. Your neice started high school. She's doing really good, you would be very proud of her, as I am. Grace's surgery went well and I think she feels worlds better now. They both miss their uncle though. Sometimes it feels like your right here with us and other times its like my chest is being crushed with a longing to see you or hear your voice. I'm doing my best Big Brother. Mom and I are supporting eachother like I know you would want us to and for the first time in a long time we are starting to looking forward. I Love and Miss you more than any words could say. See you in my dreams, Big Brother

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Hi Cheyenne,
I am so sorry for my breakdown the other day, but opening your file cabinet with your personal papers was more than I could take. The pain never gets any easier for me, some days are just harder. Each day I look at the house next door where you lived and the sorrow overwhelms me. Sometimes it is hard to breathe, and I feel so alone. I miss you so much. Our talks, the cookouts, coffee together, your smile. You were my first love. Before you were born I just thought I knew what love was. I will always remember what it felt like the first time that I held you in my arms. The feeling will last forever. I love and miss you son. More than you will ever know. Please do not be disappointed in me. I am trying my best to handle things on this side. There is times when I could use your help. I love and miss you son.

It just doesn't get easier, whoever said time heals is wrong! I keep seeing the picture of what Stacy said of the two of you on a bike, riding peacefully in the sunshine surrounded with spring flowers above. You are our Hero's, our Angel's - and you are safe now and forever more.

With the holidays upon us, as well as the first anniversary of the day Cheyenne gave his life for our Country and for Freedom. It is my honor to remember this Brave Young Soldier.
May Spc. Cheyenne C. Willey, rest safely in God's Loving Care and know that he is a True American hero, that shall Never Be Forgotten.
May the Peace of the Lord continue to be with the Willey family.
There will never be enough ways, to humbly thank these Heroes, for their Supreme Sacrifice, my brother among them. KIA-Vietnam 1967.
"And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes,
there shall be no more death,
nor sorrow, nor crying,
there shall be no more pain.
For the former things have have passed away."
Revelations 21:4
May you find peace in knowing the love and memories you have, will remain in your heart forever and that this Country remembers Cheyenne's sacrifice.
I am deeply sorry for your loss.

I cant help but think of the families that have lost someone to this war. It never gets easier only harder as the days pass and the numbers keep getting bigger and bigger. At times its hard to breath. I have never felt so alone and so much pain, as though I have been completely abandoned. So much has changed, you must be so disappointed. I miss you Brother, more than I can admit sometimes but not a day passes that I dont feel a huge loss. I know its hard on me but I do look forward to your visits in my dreams. Thank you for being my Brother. I Love you.....

Hello again. Here it is 9 months since we lost you. Still missing you. In a couple of days it is my birthday. I am so glad I never threw away the birthday card you sent to me when you were in Baghdad last year. I still have it I actually carry it with me everyday. I hold that near and dear to my heart. I will be wishing you were here to share my day with me. I know you will be here with me someway somehow..I miss you Chris. Still not getting easier. I always thinking about you. Love ya...
