On Saturday, August 15, the lives of the Jenkins family changed forever.

Jeremy and Brandy Jenkins tragically lost their lives in a car accident, leaving behind their three sons — Tyson (20), Gage (18) and Jake (16).

There are simply no words big enough for that kind of loss.

Jeremy was known to many across Texas as Coach Jenkins. As the Athletic Director and Head Football Coach at East Bernard ISD, and throughout his coaching career, he dedicated himself to teaching, mentoring and believing in young people.

Brandy shared that same love for family and community. She was a devoted wife and mother, an educator, a friend, and one of the biggest supporters of Jeremy, their boys and the athletes he coached.

Jeremy and Brandy spent years showing up for other people’s children. Now it is our turn to show up for theirs.

Tyson, Gage and Jake now face a future they never imagined. Along with grieving the loss of their parents, they must continue their education, pursue their goals and learn to navigate adulthood while supporting one another.

This GoFundMe has been created specifically for their future.

100% of the net proceeds will go directly to Tyson, Gage and Jake and will be divided equally among the three boys. These funds will help support their education, living expenses and future needs as they move forward without their parents.

No amount of money can replace Jeremy and Brandy. But together, we can help provide some security for the three young men they loved more than anything.

Whether you knew the Jenkins family personally, coached alongside Jeremy, had a child whose life they touched, or simply heard their story and felt called to help — thank you.

Every donation, every share and every prayer means more than words can express.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18

Jeremy and Brandy spent so much of their lives showing up for others.

Now it is our turn to show up for Tyson, Gage and Jake.
