My name is Benjamin Labus. I am starting this in response to the recent tragic loss of my “niece,” Ali Brooke Schoenthal.

Ali was the daughter of my very close friends, Terry and Ashley Schoenthal.

She just recently celebrated her 16th birthday.

Ali was killed in a tragic car accident yesterday, June 1, 2025, just outside of Sedalia, Mo.

No one is ever prepared to lose a child, but this tragedy is so shocking and unexpected.

Ali was a beautiful young woman whose personality was unparalleled.

100 percent of the funds here will go to assist the family with Ali’s final expenses.

Thank you.
