Support for the Family of Jacob Saunders-Lashley

On May 5, 2025, our friend and coworker, Jacob Donovan Saunders-Lashley, was tragically killed by an underage drunk driver. He was just 25 years old, full of life, and preparing for one of the most important chapters of his life—becoming a father.

Jacob leaves behind his loving wife, Dijuana Lashley, who is expecting their first child in October. Now, Dijuana is left to navigate unimaginable grief while preparing to welcome their baby into the world without the partner she planned everything with.

Jacob’s mother, Susie is now left to grieve the loss of her only son. The heartbreak of losing Jacob is felt deeply by everyone who knew him, but especially by his family, whose lives have been forever changed.

Jacob was more than a colleague—he was a light in our office. Known for his quick wit, constant jokes, and uplifting spirit, Jacob made even the hardest days a little easier for all of us. His loss has left a hole in our hearts, and we want to do everything we can to support his family through this devastating time.

We’re raising funds to help Dijuana with:

• Funeral and memorial expenses

• Household and living costs

• Baby preparations and future childcare

• Mortgage and basic financial support during this transition

Every donation, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated. If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this campaign with others who might be able to help.

Let’s honor Jacob’s memory by taking care of the family he loved so deeply.

Thank you for your support.
