In Loving Memory of Rhett Myles Shelton

As some of you may know, we lost our sweet Rhett Myles this morning- my beloved nephew, my brother Nathan’s best friend and sidekick, Jasmine’s precious baby boy, and the light of our entire family. Rhett passed away unexpectedly, and we are absolutely heartbroken.

As Rhett’s Tía and Tío (auntie/uncle), Jordan and I are starting this GoFundMe to support Nathan and Jasmine as they face the unthinkable: laying their sweet baby boy to rest. This fund will help cover funeral expenses and allow them the space to grieve without the added burden of financial stress in the days ahead.

What makes this loss even more heartbreaking is that Nathan and Jasmine just welcomed a new baby into the world only three weeks ago. In a moment that should be filled with the joy of newborn snuggles and bonding as a growing family, they are now navigating the overwhelming sorrow of losing their firstborn. Their hearts are torn between new life and devastating loss—something no parent should ever have to experience.

Rhett was full of joy, adventure, and laughter. He greeted his daddy at the door with claps and shouts of “dada,” ran through the house with little footsteps full of curiosity, and filled every corner of their home with love. He was truly everything to them—and to all of us, whether we saw him on FaceTime or had the gift of being with him in person.

If you are able, please consider donating or sharing this link to help ease the weight on our family during this incredibly difficult time. Funeral details will be shared as they are finalized, and everyone is welcome to come show love to our beautiful baby boy.

Thank you for keeping us in your prayers and for lifting Nathan, Jasmine, and our whole family with your love and support. If you are unable to give at this time, please continue to surround them with your prayers and compassion—that means just as much.

With all our love,
The Dienstag-Shelton Family

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
