It is with the deepest heartbreak that we share the passing of Zane, a sweet, wild-hearted 3-year-old who was so full of life and love.
Zane was a boy through and through—he loved being outside, riding his bike and tractors, and playing in the dirt every chance he got. He was his momma’s twin, but with his daddy’s attitude—and he used it well. If he set his mind to something, there was no changing it… he was the boss, and he knew it. He kept everyone laughing, on their toes, and completely wrapped around his little finger.
And somehow, with all that personality, he was also the sweetest little boy. His smile could light up a room in an instant and melt even the toughest hearts.
In just three short years, Zane made a lifelong impact on everyone who knew and loved him. He was his momma’s whole world, and the loss Vanessa is facing is truly unimaginable.
As Vanessa walks through this painful journey no parent should ever have to endure, we are asking for help to surround her with love and support. This fundraiser is to help ease the financial burden during this time—covering funeral expenses, time away from work, and giving her the space she needs to grieve her baby.
No amount can ever take away this pain, but together we can help carry some of the weight.
If you’re able to give, it is deeply appreciated. If not, please share and keep Vanessa and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for helping us love on her during the hardest time of her life.
Forever Zane, Forever Loved, Forever 3
