Baylor M. Sietsema

Baylor Michael Sietsema, beloved 9-week-old infant son of Brennen and Courtney (Edwards) Sietsema, was unexpectedly called home to heaven on March 3, 2026 at his home in Sartell.  Visitation will be on Monday, March 9, 2026 at Harvey Anderson & Johnson Funeral Home in New London from 5-7 pm.  A private family service will be held on Tuesday with a burial at Our Lady of the Lakes Cemetery in New London. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred. 

Baylor Michael Sietsema was born on December 26, 2025, in St. Cloud, the son of Brennen and Courtney (Edwards) Sietsema. Even before he arrived, he was deeply cherished. The day Baylor entered the world; our hearts grew with a joy we never thought possible.

From the very beginning, Baylor’s bright, beautiful eyes lit up every room. As he grew, his sweet and calm personality began to shine through. His gentle coos brought so much joy to everyone around him. Baylor adored snuggles and sleeping in the arms of loved ones, and he would smile when he received kisses on his chubby cheeks from his adoring mom.

Baylor was often comforted by the warmth of his Dad, something they both had in common was that they run hot! Of all the experiences he had, the loving embrace of his parents was his favorite. The immeasurable love he experienced here on earth will forever be cherished.

Baylor was loved and adored by his big brother, Cohen. In his short time with us, Baylor was always snuggled, held, and kissed with so much love from his brother.

Sweet baby Baylor was pure happiness. He was the kind of baby every parent hopes for—full of light, gentleness, and boundless love. Each day he was surrounded by the warm embrace of his parents, his big brother, and his extended family. Baylor was taken too soon, and a piece of every soul he touched went with him. He will forever be greatly missed, deeply loved, and tenderly remembered by all who loved him and cared for him.

It is with heavy hearts that we honor and say goodbye to our precious baby boy. In the embrace of family and the arms of Jesus, baby Baylor is survived by his parents, Brennen & Courtney; his big brother, Cohen; his loving grandparents, Mike & Sue Edwards and Drew & LuAnn Sietsema; great-grandmother Carol Edwards; aunts and uncles Hailey Olson, Ethen & Brooke Sietsema, and Gaven & Laura Sietsema; cousins Oliver, Elijah, Emery, Emmett, and Piper; and many other family members and friends.

Though his time with us was brief, Baylor’s life was completely filled with love.

“Let the little children come to me… for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” — Matthew 19:14
