Funeral Expenses & Compassion for Jason Peck & Kim Massey Family
“While our background is colorful and complicated, we love strong. We love without boundaries or borders, and we always – ALWAYS – come back to family.”
– Suelyn Massey, Sister
On December 9, 2019, Jason and Kim (of Spanish Fork) felt the sorrow no parent should experience – the passing of their 17-year-old son, Tage Keele. Tage’s suicide left a wake of grief among his friends and family. At his memorial services, the power of song connected us to Tage and his love of music.
On June 29, 2020, Jason and Kim felt the heart wrenching agony of loss again - Kevin Roberts, their 32-year-old son, also took his life. Described as always smiling, Kevin had a kindhearted soul; he loved animals and people – especially his family. Kevin would sacrifice to bring others joy. He was dependable and hardworking, but also played hard as an adventurer and outdoors-man.
“Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging please.
Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven.”
- Lyrics from Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton
While we know that grief is the price of love and that we cannot heal the hearts of Jason, Kim, and the family and friends who loved Tage and Kevin, we are hopeful of lightening the burden on this family for the costs related to the passing of both children.
We invite those able to contribute to this fundraiser for our beloved community members. Your support will ease the financial burden and buoy the spirits of Jason, a skilled iron-worker, and Kim, a 17 year veteran of the National Guard. We are initially seeking $7600 to cover a portion of the expenses. We thank you for your kindness and prayers on our behalf.
