With deep sadness, we are coming together to support our dear friend Erin Edwards and her two daughters, Avery (12) and Kendall (9), following the heartbreaking and far too early passing of Erin’s husband and the girls’ father, Taylor Edwards, on February 5, 2026, after a courageous battle with mental illness.

Taylor was a devoted husband, an incredible father, and a friend who brought warmth, laughter, and kindness wherever he went. Known for his generous heart and quick humor, he had a gift for making people feel seen, understood, and at ease. Whether through his stories, his quiet acts of service, or simply his presence, Taylor was the kind of person who lifted others and left every room brighter than he found it.

Above all else, Taylor loved his family. Erin was his beloved partner, and Avery and Kendall were truly the light of his life. Everything he did reflected his deep love and dedication to them.

As Erin and the girls navigate unimaginable grief, they are also facing the sudden financial challenges that come with losing a husband, father, and provider. During this time, Erin’s focus is on helping her daughters feel safe, supported, and surrounded by love as they begin the difficult journey of healing.

We are friends and loved ones rallying around this family to help ease the burdens ahead — including daily living expenses, counseling and healing resources, and the many unexpected costs that follow such a profound loss. Every donation, share, and prayer helps provide stability and allows Erin the space to care for her girls without the added weight of financial stress.

If you feel able, please consider contributing or sharing this fundraiser. Your kindness will help carry Erin, Avery, and Kendall through the days ahead and remind them they are not alone.
