Our beloved friend Erin Walker recently passed away, leaving behind her husband, Scott, and their two sons, Indy and Neko.

Many in Santa Barbara and beyond knew Erin and Scott as the founders of Juice Ranch, a business built not only on health and nourishment, but on genuine care for community. Through their work, friendship, generosity, and presence, they touched countless lives and helped create spaces where people felt welcomed, supported, and inspired.

To those who knew her personally, Erin was so much more than a business owner. She was a devoted mother, loving wife, loyal friend, and a bright force in the lives of many. Her passing leaves an immeasurable void in the hearts of all who loved her.

As Scott and the boys begin the unimaginable task of navigating life without Erin, we are raising funds to help ease the practical burdens that accompany such a profound loss. These funds will help provide stability during a season of grief, supporting household expenses, childcare, meals, memorial-related costs, and the many day-to-day needs that arise as a family learns to move forward.

Anyone who knows Scott knows the depth of his love and commitment to his family. During this time, our hope is that he can be fully present with Neko and Indy—grieving, healing, and caring for his sons—without the added weight of immediate financial pressures.

Erin and Scott spent years pouring their energy, love, and resources into others. Now, it is our turn to surround their family with the same generosity and support they so freely offered to the community around them.

Whether you are able to contribute financially, share this fundraiser, send a meal, offer a prayer, or simply hold this family in your heart, every act of kindness matters.

Thank you for helping us support Scott, Neko, and Indy as they navigate this heartbreaking loss and begin the long journey ahead.

With love and gratitude,

Friends of the Walker Family
