In Loving Memory of Heather Brittany McCarty

On October 15, 2025, our family lost a beautiful light when Heather Brittany McCarty passed away unexpectedly at just 41 years old. Heather was strong, stubborn, and passionate — a fiercely independent woman who lived and loved with her whole heart. Above all, she was a devoted mother who poured every ounce of herself into her children, Peytin and Grayson.

Heather’s love for her kids was endless. She was a very hands-on momma, making baby food from scratch, and showed up for every practice, every game, every moment. Her children were her world — and she was theirs.

Our hearts are shattered, and while we grieve, we also want to honor Heather’s biggest wish: that her children always have the love, stability, and support they deserve. We’ve created this GoFundMe to help ease the financial burden of this devastating loss and to ensure that her children are cared for in the days, months, and years ahead.

Funds will go directly toward their immediate needs, as well as future expenses such as school, sports, clothing, and care. Every donation, no matter the amount, will help lift some of the weight from the family during this incredibly painful time.

If you knew Heather, you know her love was fierce, her laughter contagious, and her loyalty unwavering. She made everyone around her feel special and loved — and now, it’s our turn to give back to her by helping her children in her memory.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, generosity, and prayers. Please continue to hold Peytin, Grayson, and all of Heather’s loved ones in your thoughts, prayers, and kind thoughts in the days to come.

“Those we love never truly leave us. They live on in the love they gave, the laughter they shared, and the memories we hold.”
