On September 30th our family experienced an unimaginable loss. Our baby sister Katie’s husband, Dylan, passed away suddenly, leaving behind his loving wife and their unborn daughter, who is due to arrive in 2026.

Katie is now facing the heartbreak of losing her partner while preparing to welcome their baby girl into the world. As you can imagine, this brings not only overwhelming grief, but also financial challenges as she navigates life as a single mother. They had just recently bought their first home together to make their own and raise their daughter in.

We are asking for support to help ease the financial strain Katie now carries—covering living expenses, medical costs, and preparing for the arrival of her daughter. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in providing stability and peace of mind during this devastating time.

If you are unable to give financially, your prayers, love, and words of encouragement are just as appreciated.

Thank you for surrounding Katie and her baby girl with love and support as they face the days ahead.

We will post funeral information as soon as we have it.
