In Loving Memory of the Esters and Nance Family

On Sunday, January 21, 2024, seven members of the Esters and Nance family tragically lost their lives. Christine Esters (38), William Esters (35), Tameaka Nance (47), Joshua Nance (31), Alexandria Nance (20), Alonnah Nance (16), and Angel Nance (14) were loved throughout our hometown of Joliet and beyond. To see one family member was to see all family members, as we always showed up and showed out for one another. Whether it was a graduation or a sports tournament, we were there cheering each other on. To lose seven beautiful souls at once is devastating.

The overwhelming outpour of support from family, friends, and the community has led to the creation of this GoFundMe. The funds will be collected and distributed by Cara Esters on behalf of the Esters and Nance family. These funds will be used to ease the financial burden during this difficult time, as well as, support the family through future unexpected expenses resulting from this tragedy.
