Seeking Justice and a Loving Tribute for Stevie Lynn Osborn

Dear friends, supporters, and kind hearts,

My world was shattered on December 23, 2019, when my daughter, Stevie Lynn Osborn, was tragically taken from me. The vibrant life of my beloved child was cut short by the senseless act of violence committed by Stevie's mother's boyfriend, Joseph Chilson, who later took his own life following an arrest warrant.

Stevie's memory shines brightly in my heart, but her resting place doesn't yet reflect the vibrant spirit she was. I am determined to give her a headstone that captures her essence – a tribute that solely focuses on her, free from any painful associations.

During her time on earth, Stevie faced unimaginable challenges that no child should ever endure. The Missouri Children's Division confirmed the evidence of physical and medical neglect, leading to Stevie's mother Abigail being included in the child abuse and neglect registry.

Through this GoFundMe campaign, my goals are twofold:

Legal Support: The path ahead requires legal representation to seek justice and hold the responsible parties accountable. Your contributions will enable me to access the legal expertise necessary to navigate the complex legal landscape.

A Lasting Memorial: I intend to transform Stevie's resting place into a haven of beauty, grace, and remembrance. Raising sufficient funds will allow me to gain ownership of the cemetery plot and provide Stevie with a headstone that truly represents her spirit – a place where loved ones can gather, share stories, and find comfort.

To learn more about Stevie's story and my journey, you can listen to the podcast episodes. "Episode One" reveals the heart-wrenching details of the case that forever changed my life.


Additionally, "Episode Two" delves into the results of the child abuse and neglect review, shedding light on the pursuit of justice for Stevie.

You can find that episode here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyHX2Gk7DTs&t=2s

Your compassion and support mean the world to me. Every contribution, regardless of size, brings me closer to creating a lasting memorial that honors Stevie's memory for generations to come. Together, let's ensure that her light continues to shine brightly, illuminating even the darkest corners.

Thank you for joining me on this journey.

With gratitude,

Gary Osborn
