Hi, my name is Shannon Bryant and I’m creating this page for my daughter, Willow Kobriger. On November 7th, 2025 Willow was in a very serious car accident that left her in critical condition. She is currently in a coma, we’re taking things one day at a time, trusting in her strength and resilience and making every effort to #wakeupwillow

Willow is a 2025 graduate of West Iron County High School, where she was active in the cheerleading and track teams. This fall was her first semester at Bay College where she’s a dedicated member of the Cross Country team. Working out has always been one of her passions, reflective of her determination and energy. Beyond this, Willow is loved by so many for her big heart, beautiful spirit and all around fun-loving nature. Willow loves music and dancing, she was constantly bopping and singing around the house. She is inquisitive and adventurous, if someone told her something wasn't possible guaranteed she would accept that as a challenge! Fun fact, an Iron County Wykon H.S. alumni wrote a song and personally asked Willow to lip sync this at the graduation ceremony, this was just a true testament to that my daughter could liven and brighten any occasion by just by being herself and live in the moment carefree of what others may think. Here is that video if you need a smile today. https://youtube.com/shorts/owJ1hUXBN14

Our family has been staying close to the hospital, which is several hours from home. As you can imagine, the travel, meals, and lodging expenses are adding up quickly. We don’t know how long Willow’s recovery will take, but we will continue to be by her side every step of the way to see her through this and get her home! While we do not yet know the full extent of her injuries, we are continuing to be optimistic in the signs that Willow is able to show us. Recovery will be long, she has several broken bones including a spinal injury, she will most-likely need to re-learn how to walk and talk and that is just the beginning of the challenges she faces ahead. So many people have reached out asking how they can help. If you feel led to do so, any contribution, no matter how small, will go directly toward helping our family stay near Willow and support her through this long road ahead.

We are humbly and deeply grateful for your continued prayers, love, and kindness. Please continue to keep Willow in your thoughts and prayers. Share this page to help spread the word.

With heartfelt thanks,

Shannon, Adam, Heaven, Saul and extended family
