Hi, my name is Ashley, and I’m raising funds to help lay my brother Colby to rest and support his daughters Vayda and Amelia through this unimaginable loss.
On June 8, 2025, we lost Colby suddenly. He was only 31 years old. What hurts most is knowing that his biggest and brightest light—his daughter, Vayda—now has to grow up without her daddy.
Colby loved Vayda more than anything in this world. She was his whole heart, his reason for everything. Whether it was silly games, bedtime snuggles, or cheering her on in life, he showed up for her with all the love a little girl could ever need. Their bond was something beautiful—pure and full of joy.
Now, we’re faced with saying goodbye to someone who should still be here, and helping a young child navigate a heartbreak far beyond her years.
We’re asking for support to cover Colby’s afterlife costs—funeral, memorial, and any expenses that will help ease the burden on our family during this time. Any additional funds will go toward Vayda and Amelia’s future, to make sure they are taken care of the way Colby would have wanted.
Your donation, no matter the size, means more than words can say. If you aren’t able to give, sharing this or simply keeping Vayda in your prayers would mean the world to us.
Thank you for helping us honor a father’s love and a little girl’s loss.
With love,
Ashley and Family
