It is with immeasurable sorrow that we share the devastating news that Marco, Alley’s beloved fiancé, was tragically killed yesterday.
There are no words that can truly capture the depth of pain and brokenness Alley is experiencing right now. The weight of this loss is crushing, and as parents, it is agonizing to stand by, powerless to mend her shattered heart. Watching her navigate this darkness, knowing there is nothing we can do to take away even a fraction of her grief, is a pain we never imagined we’d endure.
Marco was not only a cherished part of our family’s story—he was part of our hearts. From the moment he entered Alley’s life, and ours, we knew he was someone incredibly special. God was writing a breathtaking chapter through their love—a story of joy, hope, and promise. We saw glimpses of the beautiful life they were building together, and the way they loved each other was both inspiring and humbling. It felt sacred.
We have often said, “God writes the best stories.” That phrase has carried us through many seasons of life. And yet now, in the shadow of this unimaginable tragedy, it is so hard to understand this part of the narrative. It doesn’t make sense. Our hearts scream against it. And yet, in our brokenness, we are clinging—desperately—to the truth that His promises remain, even when the story feels like it’s been torn apart.
We do not grieve without hope, but we do grieve deeply. The loss of Marco has left a profound void, not only in Alley’s life, but in ours, and in the lives of all who knew and loved him. He was kind, thoughtful, and full of life—a man whose presence made the world brighter. His absence is unspeakably painful.
We humbly ask you to surround us in prayer. Please pray for Alley, that she would somehow feel comfort even in the chaos. Pray for Marco’s family as they face an unbearable reality. And pray for our family, that we would have the strength to walk this road together, holding each other up in the storm of sorrow.
This is not the ending we ever imagined, but we are trying to trust that somehow, some way, God’s love is still holding us—especially Alley—in the middle of this heartbreak.
Thank you for mourning with us. Thank you for your prayers, your love, and your support.
With deep grief,
[Your Name or Family Name]
