We are heartbroken to share the sudden and tragic loss of Justin Welker—a beloved husband, father, son, and friend. My sister, Kiara Welker, has lost her partner in life, and her sweet 16-month-old baby girl has lost her daddy far too soon. This unimaginable loss has left our family grieving and trying to navigate the days ahead. As Kiara faces life without Justin, she is also doing everything she can to stay strong for her little girl, who will grow up knowing how deeply her father loved her.


We are asking for support during this incredibly difficult time to help cover funeral expenses and the costs of bringing Justin home so he can be laid to rest surrounded by family. Any contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward easing this financial burden and allowing Kiara to focus on healing and caring for her daughter. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this post and keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers. Your kindness, love, and support mean more than we can express. Thank you for helping us honor Justin’s life and support the family he loved so much.
