It is with a broken heart, I inform you of the devastating loss of my godson, our baby boy, Wyatt Van Ness Barnes. He was tragically taken away too soon. There are no words to capture the depth of our ohana’s grief at this time.
Wyatt brought so much love, light, laughter, and joy to everyone who knew him. He was the happiest, funniest, smartest little boy. He was absolutely perfect.
As Wyatt’s entire ohana navigates this unimaginable pain, I am reaching out for help with the unexpected costs associated with this loss.
-funeral/memorial costs
-time off work
-basic living expenses
-grief counseling and support for the family
Funds raised will help give Kyle, Haley, and Avery space to grieve.
Kyle and Haley have always gone above and beyond helping their friends and family, especially during the tragic events that followed the 2023 Lahaina fire. It is time Kyle and Haley are taken care of in return for their selfless acts over the years.
Asking for help is not easy. So many people have asked Haley and Kyle “how can we help?”
The answer is: the gift of time and space, to grieve.
If you are unable to contribute at this time, please consider sharing this page with others who wish to help.
Thank you for helping us honor the beautiful life of Wyatt Van Ness Barnes, who will forever remain in our hearts.
With love,
Danyelle (Auntie Mama) and the entire Barnes Ohana
