It is with a heavy heart that I share the devastating loss of Turner Collins, my beloved brother-in-law. Turner passed away on Friday, June 20th, 2025, after a courageous two-week battle in the ICU. He was a loving husband to my sister Jessica, a devoted father to their two beautiful daughters—Lilly (6) and Avery (2)—and a truly remarkable man who touched the lives of everyone who knew him.

As Jessica begins to face life without her partner, she is now carrying the weight of both immense grief and overwhelming financial responsibility. Turner did not have life insurance, and the cost of two weeks in the ICU, combined with the expenses of a service, probate, and other matters, all while supporting two young children, has created a heavy burden she must bear.

Many of you have asked how you can help, and this GoFundMe is a way to lift some of that load. Your support will go directly toward:

Medical and ICU expenses

Memorial and funeral arrangements

Basic living costs as Jessica transitions into single parenthood

Jessica is trying to stay strong for Lilly and Avery, but the road ahead is uncertain and filled with challenges no one should have to face alone. Your generosity—whether through a donation, a share, or a kind word—means more than words can express.

Thank you for being here for them during this heartbreaking time.

Jess, my heart is broken for you—but I know this community will surround you and the girls with love.

❤️
