Joseph Carl "JC" Faulhaber III

With a heavy heart we share that Joseph Carl "JC" Faulhaber III passed away unexpectedly on June 25, 2026, at the age of 1 year old.

JC was born on April 22, 2025, to Joseph and Alyson Faulhaber. He was a fighter from the start, by defying the odds of his congenital heart defect and several medical complications.

JC did not have the easiest of a start through a long NICU/CICU stay after his birth, followed by open heart surgery at just 6 months old. Despite these challenges, he continued to fight every single day of his life. He was the happiest little boy ever and lit up any room he was in. There was always a smile on his face that shared love to those around him. He loved playing with his Mama and Dada, toys and reading his books mornings, noon and night. He loved his snuggles and chasing his dog Jason around the house. He had just learned to walk a week before his passing and was so proud of himself as he tried to get into as many things as possible before Mom and Dad could catch him. JC had the biggest personality for such a small body and shared his happiness and strength with everyone around him.

JC's life was cut way too short and his memory will last forever with all of those he met. Sleep sweet our little sweet pea, until we meet again.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations are made in JC's name to the Ronald McDonald House of Milwaukee for being our second home while our boy was being taken care of. https://www.rmhc-easternwi.org .
