With the unexpected and heartbreaking passing of their precious 14-year-old daughter, Ruby Marie, our dear friends Kristin and Chris Cox are facing a loss no parent should ever have to endure.

Ruby was deeply loved, and at only 14 years old, her life touched so many. Her absence has left an unimaginable ache in the hearts of her family and everyone who knew and loved her. As the Cox family tries to navigate this devastating loss, the responsibilities of everyday life continue. Bills still have to be paid, meals still need to be made, and the schedules and activities of Ruby’s siblings, Ryen, Keegan, and Dylan, continue even though their entire world has changed.

This GoFundMe has been created to surround the Cox family with love and support and to help carry some of the weight they should not have to worry about right now. Donations will help with unexpected expenses, everyday bills, meals, and the needs and activities of their children, allowing Kristin and Chris the time and breathing room to simply be together as a family and grieve their precious Ruby.

Above all else, we ask for prayer.

Please pray for Kristin and Chris as they face the unimaginable. Pray for Ryen, Keegan, and Dylan as they grieve their little sister. Pray for their entire family to feel God’s presence surrounding them with strength, comfort, and peace in the days, weeks, and months ahead.

If you feel led and are able to give, no amount is too small, and every donation will be received with tremendous gratitude. If you are unable to give financially, sharing this fundraiser and, most importantly, praying for this family means more than words can express.

This is a time for their village to surround them, love them, pray for them, and carry whatever pieces of the burden we can.

In loving memory of precious Ruby Marie a.k.a Birdie ️❤️
