WANDELL, RYDER SHAWN , precious son, of Lyndsai Murphy and Michael Shawn Wandell, was in the arms of his parents when he received his Angel's wings on the evening of March 8, 2023.  Born at 27 weeks on February 14, 2023, along with twin brother, Parker, Ryder weighed slightly over 2 pounds.  Our brave baby boy thrived for almost three weeks until an infection was more than his tiny body could handle.  In his short time on earth, this little Valentine spread joy and love to an entire community of friends and family who were praying for him and continue to pray for his brother, Parker and his parents.

Ryder is survived by his parents Lyndsai and Michael, his precious twin brother, Parker Scott Wandell, along with a host of family and friends.

At this time, the family needs and appreciates your prayers for Parker Scott, and will hold a memorial service for Ryder Shawn at a later date.

Ryder, we are so blessed to have had you in our lives for even a short time and will keep you in our hearts forever.  Good night, sweet Angel.

The family would like to extend special thanks to the caring staff in the NICU at

the University of Tennessee Medical Center. Your kindness will never be forgotten.
