On December 11th, our family experienced an unimaginable loss. My brother Blake was on his way to work, stuck in traffic, when he was tragically hit from behind by a driver operating a commercial vehicle. In an instant, Blake was taken from us, leaving behind his loving wife Jess and their two young boys, Calihan and Rhodes.

Jess is now facing the overwhelming challenge of supporting her family while grieving the loss of her husband. The suddenness of Blake’s passing has left her with unexpected expenses and the weight of providing for Calihan and Rhodes on her own. Every day brings new hurdles, from covering basic living costs to making sure the boys have what they need as they adjust to life without their dad.

We are reaching out to our community for help during this incredibly difficult time. Any support you can offer—whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser—will make a meaningful difference for Jess and her sons. Thank you for standing with our family and for showing your kindness and compassion when it’s needed most.
