We are coming together to support our dear friend, Taylor Hooten, as she endures the sudden and heartbreaking loss of her husband, Jim. While on a beach vacation with family during spring break, Jim suffered a catastrophic stroke and passed away on Thursday, March 26th.

Jim was a devoted husband, a doting father, and a beloved son. His passing has created a profound void in the lives of everyone who knew and loved him. Taylor and Jim built a beautiful life together, both working as CRNAs in the Birmingham area while raising their two-year-old daughter, Maggie. After experiencing multiple miscarriages and turning to IVF, they are now expecting another child this fall. Taylor is now facing unimaginable grief while caring for their young and growing family.

The funds raised will go directly to Taylor and her family to help ease the burdens they now face. These gifts will provide support, stability, and allow her to focus on caring for her children and finding healing in the days ahead.

We are lifting the Hooten family up in prayer, asking for strength, comfort, and a deep sense of peace to surround them during this incredibly difficult time.

If you feel led to give, any contribution—no matter how small—will make a meaningful impact for Taylor and her children. If giving isn’t possible, sharing this page and continuing to pray for the Hooten family is deeply appreciated.

Thank you for helping us honor Jim’s life and legacy by caring for the family he loved so dearly.
