He was born in La Crosse on June 2, 2006 to Gary Wayne and Amy Wiegel DVMs. Jonah was born with Canavan disease which limited him both physically and cognitively, but he was a very happy boy. He loved loud music, being pushed over bumpy surfaces in his wheelchair, and getting zerberts from his DaDa.  Everyone enjoyed his big fat smiles and laughs.  Jonah is in God’s hands now.
