Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,
With heavy hearts, we are reaching out to our community during an unthinkable time of grief. Our family is reeling from the tragic loss of two beloved family members who were suddenly taken from us in a devastating car accident that was not their fault.
On Monday, May 12th, 2025, our loved ones were traveling together when another vehicle, recklessly driving, veered into their lane. In an effort to avoid a head-on collision, the driver swerved and struck a telephone pole. The impact was fatal. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene, and the passenger passed away shortly after at the hospital despite the best efforts of medical staff.
We are shattered by this unexpected loss, made even more heartbreaking by the fact that this is the second tragedy our family has faced in just a few short months. Not long ago, we had to lay another loved one to rest, which left us emotionally and financially depleted.
Now, we are faced with planning two funerals at once—a burden no family should have to carry alone. We are humbly asking for your support to help us give them the dignified homegoing services they deserve.
Your donation—no matter the size—will go directly toward funeral expenses, transportation, burial/cremation costs, and support for the surviving family members during this unimaginable time. If you are unable to give financially, we ask that you keep our family in your prayers and share this campaign with others.
We are clinging to our faith, leaning on one another, and believing that love and community can carry us through this storm.
Thank you in advance for your compassion, generosity, and support.
With love and gratitude,
The Starks Family
