Gracelynn Pedro

With hearts full of love, we announce that our precious daughter, Gracelynn Pedro, was born into the arms of Jesus on September 19, 2025. Though her time with us was brief, she will forever remain in the hearts of her parents, Haley McKendree and Blake Pedro, who cherish the gift of her life and the hope of reunion.

Gracelynn is deeply loved by her brother Carter, grandparents, extended family, and all who prayed for her arrival. Her presence, though quiet, has filled our lives with immeasurable grace.

“The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” —Job 1:21

“Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.” —Mark 10:14

A Service of Remembrance will be held at North Industry United Methodist Church, 155 Faircrest Street SW, Canton, OH 44706, with Pastor Suzanah Johnson officiating. A gathering for family and friends will follow after in the church fellowship hall. Haley and Blake invite loved ones to honor Gracelynn’s memory by sharing prayers, acts of kindness, or simply pausing to thank God for the gift God has received into his arms.

“We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him.” —Romans 8:28

Though our arms are empty, our hearts are full of the promise that “nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” We hold fast to the blessed assurance that we will see our sweet Gracelynn again.
