Baylee was remembered as a beaming ray of sunshine, full of warmth and a love for horses, while Chandler was described as sweet, gentle, and full of curiosity about the world. Shaun, by all who knew him, was the kind of father who gave his whole heart to his children. Renee called him “an invested partner and devoted father who would go to the ends of the earth for us.” The family’s deep bond was visible in every shared photo, from hiking adventures to simple moments at sunset.
In the days since, the local community has come together in heartbreak. A candlelight vigil was organized in Blackwater, and a GoFundMe campaign has been launched to help Renee and little Saphora rebuild what’s left of their world. As authorities continue to investigate the crash, Renee and her daughter face a future shaped by unthinkable loss—but also surrounded by love, remembrance, and the fierce spirit of those they’ve lost.
