Help Shea's Family Through This Heartbreaking Time

Honoring Shea Bogart: Supporting Her Family After an Unimaginable Loss

We are absolutely heartbroken to share that our dear friend and teammate, Shea Bogart, passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind her husband, Zack, and their sweet 5-year-old son, who was the absolute light of her life.

If you knew Shea, you know she wasn’t just a barista here at Caffe Piccolo—she was the heart and soul here and beloved by customers, her co-workers, and the Camas community. She was the warm smile greeting you at the counter, the first to remember your name (and exactly how you like your drink), and the kind of person who made your day better just by being in it. Shea brought kindness, laughter, and light into every room, and our team feels such a deep emptiness without her. She will be remembered as the ray of sunshine that illuminated anything dark around her. She was our angel.

More than anything, Shea was an incredible mom and a devoted wife. Her family was at the center of everything. Every decision she made was rooted in giving her little one the happiest, most love-filled childhood possible. Now, her husband is facing the unimaginable — grieving his best friend and partner while trying to stay strong for their child and piece together a future that suddenly looks so different.

We’re setting up this fundraiser to help ease just a small part of their burden, so they have space to grieve and find their footing in the months ahead. Every dollar raised will go directly to Shea’s family to help cover:

Funeral and memorial expenses

Household and living costs

Childcare and support for their little one

Any unexpected expenses that come with this heartbreak

If Shea ever made your morning a little brighter or your day a little lighter, we hope you'll consider helping us return that love to her family. Every donation, every share, and every kind word truly means the world.

Thank you for helping us honor Shea the way she so deeply deserves. She will always be part of the Caffe Piccolo family, and we will carry her memory with us in every cup we serve.

With love,

Your friends at Caffe Piccolo
