Peter Winegar Rees

Peter Winegar Rees, son of Trevor and Adrienne Rees, little brother of Brielle Patricia, Adam Leon, Pearl Helen, and Joseph Trevor Rees.

Our perfect Peter was due December 26, 2025. Early on, Peter was a little mover and a swimmer, and he seemed joyful as he grew and developed within Adrienne‘s womb. Our family was so excited to welcome a baby! Sadly, he came early at 18 weeks, with a true not in his umbilical cord. We were heartbroken to find out that that he wouldn’t be growing up in our family. We weren’t going to get a chance to play with him, and see his milestones. It was the deepest pain we have ever experienced.

As we sat together the day we found out of his passing, we read through a long list of baby names that we had thought about when we found out we were having a boy at 11 weeks. The name ‘Peter’ jumped out at us and we all began to cry and realize that this was his name, and he helped us choose it! Peter means ‘Rock,’ and Peter in the Bible was ‘Jesus’ rock’.

We went to the Brigham City hospital to get induced on Tuesday, July 22, 2025. When little Peter finally arrived at 8:15 pm, we were overjoyed to see him! He weighed 5 ounces and was 8.2 inches long.

He had perfect little features. He was a strong little guy with big muscles and broad shoulders. All of his features were perfect, including his eyes, his ears, his nose, his mouth, his chin, his tongue, his hands, his feet, and his long legs. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was that darn knot in his cord.

In the hospital, everyone was able to hold him, rock him, and touch his little hands and feet. The angelic nurses at Brigham Hospital and the sweet volunteers from the group ‘Share’ came to take his hand and feet molds, his prints, measure and weigh him, give him a little bath, and then help us dress him and swaddle him. We were eternally grateful for their kindness.

The next day, we were able to go to the mortuary to see sweet Peter. We all got to hold him and talk to him again. We talked about his memorial service and graveside plans. The Gillies Mortuary helpers were so very kind and helpful to provide services for Peter.

The next few days were spent processing our feelings. Friends and family stopped by to bring us flowers, gifts, food, and love. We have been so grateful to the earthly angels for reaching out so compassionately in service for our Peter.

As we sought inspiration for his funeral services, Peter connected with us through vision and music. He came in the difficult moments to us teaching us about what he looked like, what his personality is, and what songs he liked. We learned that he is ‘Daddy’s Little Cowboy’. He also has a deep soul that is now with Jesus. He taught us through the song ‘Rock of Ages’.

As we came upon the day of his funeral services and burial, we were blessed with more angelic experiences. We got to dress him, hold him, and let family and friends see and hold him. We had a beautiful service and Trevor, Adrienne, and our kids were able to share their feelings about Peter. We had flowers and paintings and memorabilia for Peter.

We then laid him to rest in his little casket with toys, blankets, and our love. We then proceeded to the Brigham City Cemetery to be be buried. We had a dedication of his grave by his daddy Trevor and put flowers on his casket.

Thank you to all who have been a part of our journey for our little baby. We are eternally grateful to you. We love little Peter so much and will think about him every day until we see him and hold him again. Love you Peter!
