In loving memory of Whylee Christopher Woosley
Whylee Christopher Woosley was only two weeks old when he passed away. He was born with differences in the chambers and vessels of his heart. The condition, called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). This limited the circulation to his tiny body and left him less equipped for this big scary world.
Whylee showed us he was a fighter, inside and outside of the womb, with no matter the cost. He had so much stamina within him. We know he could have made a big difference in a world that is less than fair. He has already changed our hearts forever, and had shown incredible strength and courage throughout his time on earth.
Whylee was proceeded in death by his nana, Tina Barkley, and his great-granny, HoneyBea Barkley, in whose care he will be, forever protected.
Whylee is survived by his biggest fans, including his parents, Destiny Barkley and Dylan Woolsey; siblings, Harmony; Ava; Jonah; and his identical twin, Woodie; and his grandmother, Jeanette Morrow.
Whylee will always be cherished, loved, missed & forever we will be, Wild4Whylee.
Funeral service will be 2 p.m. Monday, July 21, 2025, at Kevin Brennan Family Funeral Home, 2801 SW Urish Road, Topeka KS 66614. Committal service will follow at 3:15 p.m. at Rochester cemetery.
