We are heartbroken to share that my brother in law, Travis Ware, passed away unexpectedly yesterday, leaving behind his wife, Emma, their two boys, and a baby girl on the way.

We are hoping to raise funds to help ease the financial burden in the days and months ahead, allowing Emma the space to grieve, care for her children, and prepare for the arrival of her baby without added stress.

If you feel led to give, it would mean more than we can express. And if you’re unable to donate, your prayers, love, and sharing this with others are just as appreciated.

Travis was the kind of man who showed up for everyone. He started an HVAC company, Manifest Air, and was constantly blessing others through extremely discounted or even free services. He lived a life of generosity and truly had a heart of service. Whether it was helping through his HVAC work, or simply offering a helping hand, he always found a way to support those in need. His children will always know how deeply their dad loved them and the way he cared for others.

Travis’s father had spent several years building a home by hand for Travis, and passed a short time ago. Travis had been so close to finishing the house and had hoped to have it completed before the new baby’s arrival in a few short months. While the road ahead is uncertain, we know there are so many who want to show up for Travis’s family the way he so selflessly showed up for others.

Emma is one of the most kindhearted and selfless people I know. She continues to show strength through an unimaginable loss. She is currently working full time, but will now be the sole provider for her children, all while preparing to welcome their baby girl this summer. The financial responsibility ahead is significant, and she would never ask for help on her own. That’s why we are coming together as a family and opening the door for the community to support her during this time.

Thank you for being part of the village that continues to wrap Emma and her babies in love.
