Our hearts are profoundly heavy as we share the devastating news of the passing of Kristen Royster, the beloved daughter of our dear friend and colleague, Maurice Royster. Kristen’s life was tragically cut short in a car accident, leaving her family to grapple with an unimaginable loss and the sudden weight of unexpected financial burdens.
For those who know Maurice, he is far more than just a colleague—he is a friend, a mentor, and family to so many of us. His kindness, dedication, and unwavering support have touched countless lives, and now, in this moment of deep sorrow, we have an opportunity to show him the same compassion and love he has so often shown to others.
In response to this heartbreaking tragedy, Heart of Atlanta Cares, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has established a fund to assist the Royster family during this difficult time. Every contribution made will go directly toward easing the financial strain of funeral expenses and other urgent needs as they navigate the difficult days ahead.
“No gift is too small,” the organization emphasized. “Each act of generosity not only lightens the financial burden but serves as a reminder to Maurice and his family that they are not alone in their grief.”
The outpouring of love and support from colleagues, friends, and community members has already begun, a testament to the lives the Royster family has touched. Yet, there is still much that can be done. Together, we can ensure that Maurice and his loved ones have the space to grieve without the additional weight of financial worries.
We ask everyone to keep the Royster family in your thoughts and prayers in the days and weeks to come. For those who feel moved to contribute, donations can be made directly through Heart of Atlanta Cares, ensuring that 100% of the funds go to supporting Maurice and his family during this heartbreaking time.
In the face of tragedy, we find strength in community, love in shared memories, and hope in standing together. Kristen’s life, though tragically brief, will forever be remembered by those who knew and loved her.
