Live Like Emma Memorial/Scholarship Fund Shirt

Live Like Emma 🩷🖤

Emma Grace Barnett was just 19 years old when we lost her in a tragic car accident on October 4, 2025. Although her time with us was far too short, the love, laughter, and light she brought into the lives of those around her will never be forgotten.

Emma was beautiful inside and out—a free spirit with the kindest heart. She had an incredible ability to love people exactly as they were. She never wanted anyone to feel left out or unseen. Emma made people feel accepted, welcomed, and valued simply by being herself. She was funny, compassionate, genuine, full of life, and left an impact on so many people that will last a lifetime.

This November, Emma would have celebrated her 21st birthday. While our hearts ache knowing we won't get to celebrate this milestone with her, we want to honor her birthday by doing something that reflects the person she was and allows her beautiful spirit to continue making a difference.

These memorial shirts are more than just a way to remember Emma—they are a way to carry her legacy forward. Proceeds from the shirts will help establish a small scholarship in Emma’s name, which will be awarded to a young person who embodies the qualities that made Emma so special.

Someone who chooses kindness.
Someone who includes others.
Someone who leads with compassion.
Someone who makes people feel seen, accepted, and like they belong.

We would give anything to have Emma here with us, celebrating her 21st birthday the way she deserved. But if we can turn the heartbreak of losing her into something that brings hope and opportunity to another young person, then her life—and the love she gave so freely—can continue to make a difference.

Our family often says “Live Like Emma.”

To us, that means loving people for who they are.
Choosing kindness, even when it isn't easy.
Including the person who feels left out.
Making someone laugh.
Showing compassion.
And making a difference simply by being exactly who you are.

Emma may no longer be here for us to hug, laugh with, or celebrate, but her spirit lives on in every person she touched and every act of kindness inspired by her.

Thank you for helping us celebrate Emma’s 21st birthday, honor her beautiful life, and keep her legacy alive.

Live Like Emma.
Love. Include. Be Kind. Make a Difference. 🩷🖤
