Supporting the Kocher & Shepard Families After Tragic Loss

On Sunday, September 28th, our family experienced a sudden and unimaginable tragedy. My cousin, Hannah Kocher, her boyfriend, Jacob Shepard, and his young daughter were involved in a devastating car accident in Watford City, North Dakota. We are heartbroken to share that Hannah and Jacob’s daughter both passed away.

Jacob was life-flighted to Bismarck, where he is currently in stable condition but has suffered critical injuries. As our families grieve this heartbreaking loss, we are also faced with unexpected expenses.

This fundraiser is being created to help cover:

• Funeral arrangements for Hannah

• Medical expenses for Jacob as he continues in his recovery

We know times are difficult for many, but any donation—no matter the amount—will make a difference and help ease the burden during this incredibly painful time. If you are unable to give, we ask that you keep Hannah, Jacob, and both of their families in your thoughts and prayers.

While our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing that Hannah is now embraced by our beloved grandparents, Pamma and PopPop, who welcomed her with open arms.

We deeply appreciate your kindness, generosity, and support as we navigate this tragedy together.

Until we meet again Hannah️️

With love,

Aimee Kocher
