It is with shattered hearts that we share the unexpected passing of Steven Kemp.

Steve lived a life rooted in faith, love, and family. He was a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend to so many. Above all else, he treasured his wife, Anna, and their four children: Aria, Finn, Thor, and Henry. His family was the greatest joy of his life, and he poured his heart into them every single day. Steve's faith in God was the foundation of his life, and he lived out that faith by loving others well. He had a remarkable way of making people feel seen, known, and valued, and will always be remembered for his kindness, warmth, and the genuine care he showed to everyone he met.

Steve and Anna's story began long before they became husband and wife. Having grown up together, they recognized early on that what they shared was something rare. Their friendship grew into a deep and enduring love, and they were married in a beautiful ceremony at his parents' home, surrounded by the two families who meant so much to them. Together, they built a life centered on faith and raising their children. Steve worked tirelessly to provide for his family, making it possible for Anna to devote herself to educating their children and creating a home filled with love. That gift of time together is something their family will always cherish.

In an instant, Anna and the children lost the husband and father who was the heart of their home and their primary provider. As they begin to navigate the unimaginable grief of life without Steve, this fundraiser will help ease some of the financial burdens they now face, as well as provide stability and comfort in the days ahead.

The funds raised will help support Anna and Aria, Finn, Thor, and Henry by helping cover:

No amount of money can ever replace Steve or fill the space he leaves behind, but together we can surround this family with love in a tangible way and help carry some of the burdens they are facing. If you are able, please consider making a donation of any amount. Every gift, every prayer, and every share is deeply appreciated.

Though our hearts grieve the years that should have been, we find hope in the promise that Steve is home with his Savior, experiencing perfect peace. Thank you for loving the Kemp family, for honoring Steve's memory, and for helping carry them through this incredibly difficult season.
