Our hearts are heavy as we join together in mourning with Darren and Cindy Bailey after the heartbreaking and unimaginable loss of their beloved son, Zachary, their daughter-in-law, and their precious grandchildren. No words can truly express the depth of grief that accompanies such a profound tragedy.
The Bailey family has long been a pillar of faith, community, and compassion — known for their dedication to others and their unwavering belief in God’s purpose, even in the midst of pain. Today, that same faith will be their greatest source of strength as they navigate this valley of unimaginable sorrow.
In moments like these, we are reminded of the fragility of life and the power of love, community, and prayer. As the Bailey family faces this devastating loss, we ask everyone to join together in lifting them up in prayer — that God’s presence will surround them like a comforting embrace, offering peace beyond understanding and strength in the days ahead.
May Zachary, his wife, and their beautiful children rest in eternal peace, their memories forever cherished by those who loved them most. Though their time on earth was far too short, their legacy of love, laughter, and family will live on through every heart they touched.
To Darren and Cindy Bailey, and to the entire family grieving this loss — please know that you are not alone. Countless hearts across the state and beyond are united with you, holding you close in prayer and thought.
May God wrap His loving arms around you and bring comfort in this season of mourning. May He heal the brokenhearted and restore hope in the midst of despair. And may the memories of your son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren shine brightly as eternal lights in your hearts.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
