Community Support Needed After Payson I-15 Tragedy

Our hearts are broken for the Suiter family, who have experienced an unimaginable tragedy. Earlier this month, they lost their beloved son, who took his own life on May 7th and now, just weeks later, their father Christopher Suiter has passed away in a fatal car accident going southbound on I-15 in Payson, UT on May 27th, 2025. It was not his fault, and they say he died on impact when another car going northbound lost control, crossed the median and hit him head on in his jeep.

Two heartbreaking losses in such a short time is more than any family should ever have to endure. There is no life insurance, leaving the family to cover all funeral expenses out of pocket.

We are coming together to support the Suiters in this time of overwhelming grief. All funds raised will go directly toward funeral costs and easing the financial burden on this grieving family.

Please consider donating if you are able, and share this campaign with others who may want to help. Most of all, keep the Suiter family in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this incredibly painful time.

Christopher Suiter will be greatly missed. We know He is home with Jesus and his son Brian.

UPDATE:

Christopher Suiter’s Funeral will be held at the LDS Church JUNE 7, 2025 at 11am

545 N 200 E, Santaquin, UT 84655
