In loving memory of Joe Tavernier - Help with Final Expenses

We are heartbroken to share the passing of Joseph Tavernier, who passed away unexpectedly on January 22, 2025. Joe was the cherished husband to Leah Babcock and a devoted father to his children, Owen, Mark and Carina. Those who knew Joe knew he loved many things including his family, Legos, Wu-Tang, his hat collection and the pride he took in keeping his work truck absolutely spotless. His unexpected departure has left us all in shock and we are deeply saddened by this loss.

Leah and the kids are facing an incredibly difficult time, not only the emotional toll of their loss but the financial burden of final expenses. As we navigate this incredibly difficult time, we are reaching out to our friends, family and the community for help with funeral and related expenses. This will help ensure Leah and family can focus on healing and honoring Joe’s memory without the additional stress of financial burdens. Any contributions received will assist in ensuring that we can lay Joe to rest with the dignity and respect he deserves and honor his memory with a Celebration of Life later.

We understand that times are tough for everyone, and if you're unable to donate, please keep his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers. Any amount, no matter how small, will make a difference and is greatly appreciated. Your support means the world to us as we cope with this unimaginable loss.

Thank you for your love, kindness, and support during this time of sorrow.

With gratitude,

Jenn Ferguson on behalf of Leah Babcock
