Hello, my name is Kennedy Engstedt.

It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of my bright, goofy, thoughtful, and handsome cousin, Avery Ray Stiles, who left us too soon on August 30th, 2025. His passing was sudden and unexpected, and our family is still trying to process this immense loss.

There is so much I want to say, but no words will ever encapsulate who Avery is. Avery’s memory will forever live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

I am starting this GoFundMe to help cover the unexpected funeral and memorial costs, as well as any other expenses related to Avery’s passing (travel expenses, time off for Eric, Danielle, Serena, and Hailee, etc.). If you are able to contribute, no matter the amount, it would mean the world to our family. And if you can’t donate, sharing this campaign would also be deeply appreciated.

We thank you for your support, love, and kindness during this incredibly difficult time.

With love and gratitude,

Kennedy Engstedt
