We are heartbroken to share that Ava Ahlander tragically passed away this weekend following an accident near the Redwest Music Festival. Ava was a beautiful soul whose kindness, warmth, and adventurous spirit touched everyone around her. Even in her passing, Ava continues to give the gift of life to others as an organ donor—a final act of generosity that truly reflects her caring nature and desire to help those in need.

Funds raised will be used to help with expenses related to a memorial celebration of life, burial costs, medical bills, and counseling services for those affected by this loss. Any remaining funds will be donated to a charity in Ava’s name, extending her legacy of compassion.

If you feel moved to help in any way—whether through a donation, sharing this page, or simply keeping Ava and her loved ones in your thoughts—you are warmly welcomed and appreciated.

Thank you for your kindness and support during this difficult time as we honor and remember Ava’s beautiful life.

With gratitude,

The Ahlander family
