On April 16, 2026, our world changed forever. My beloved child and brother, Corbyn Zittle, whom I legally adopted seven years ago, was involved in a tragic accident while riding an electric scooter. At just 12 years old, Corbyn was struck by a motorcycle and another vehicle, and despite every effort, we lost him far too soon. Corbyn was a bright light in our lives and was cherished by so many people in our community. His laughter, kindness, and spirit touched everyone he met, and his absence has left a hole in our hearts that can never be filled.

As we try to navigate this unimaginable loss, we are facing unexpected expenses and the costs of planning a memorial service to honor Corbyn’s memory. The emotional toll is overwhelming, and the financial burden adds to the weight we are carrying. We want to give Corbyn the beautiful farewell he deserves and create a space for friends and family to come together and remember the joy he brought into our lives.

Any help is appreciated as we have suffered a terrible tragedy that has rocked our world. We are deeply grateful for any and all support during this time. Thank you for standing with us as we honor Corbyn’s memory and try to find our way through this awful loss.
