On February 25, 2025, Charlie Tesch passed away from complications of a heart attack that he suffered a few days prior. While most know him from the livestock industry, I can tell you the biggest title he ever earned was dad, and he was one of the best.

He left behind his longtime girlfriend, Ashley, and their 6-year-old daughter, Paisley. Charlie loved Ashley and Paisley with everything he had.

For those that know Ashley, you know that she is extremely independent and prides herself on being able to help contribute and support her family. She is not one to ask for help or go looking for handouts.

That being said, Charlie played a large part in the day-to-day activities in their life so that Ashley could run her Equestrian Business and put in long hours and/or late nights at the barn. As she is self-employed, her main concerns have now shifted from those long days and late nights to making Paisley her main priority and placing a financial hurdle in front of her.

As the dust begins to settle on this horrific tragedy, she is starting to realize that the day-to-day needs and bills are starting to pile up, and she is starting to feel overwhelmed. Anything that you can donate to help Ashley and Paisley get through the next few months while they figure out a plan for their future without Charlie and begin the healing process would be appreciated.
