Meet the men behind the widows
~Oliver~
Oliver was devoted to his wife, Lacey, and son Ryder. He was an avid runner and a gifted photographer. Oliver was seldom without a camera and enjoyed documenting events, friends and family. He had a bright mind and a deep interest in all things tech. Oliver was 37 when he died and left behind his wife of 10 years and son age 6.
~Frank~
Keira's husband, Frank, was a loving husband and father. He never met a stranger. Frank was exceptionally good at connecting with others, both in his work and personal life. He was caring, a good listener, and had a great sense of humor, which made people want to be around him. Frank was 46 when he died and left behind his wife of 13 years and 3 children ages 4, 9 and 11.
~Toby~
This is Holly's husband, Toby. Toby's greatest joy was his family. He adored his wife and 2 boys. He was a fiercely talented graphic designer and generous friend. Toby's quick wit and booming laugh made him the life of any party. If he wasn't cheering the boys on at a sporting event, you could find him cycling in and around Austin. Toby was 49 when he died and left behind his wife of 23 years and 2 sons ages 11 and 14.
~Hunter~
Whitney's husband, Hunter, was a true renaissance man. His knowledge spanned books, music, politics, sports, math, and movies! He was the guy you called to wax philosophical over a bourbon and coke, or for wisdom and compassion in a time of crisis. The love and responsibility for his family was his greatest motivation. Hunter was 46 when he died and left behind his wife of 23 years and 3 children ages 11, 12, and 14.
