Support Melissa and Kids After Eric's Passing

Our Olympia hearts are heavy with the sudden loss of Eric Spieth, a beloved husband to Melissa and a devoted stepdad to Olympia High School students, Forrest and Mariah Carter. Eric faced a recent and devastating cancer diagnosis with courage, but he passed away this past Monday, leaving behind a grieving family and community.

As Melissa now faces life as a single mother, she is also confronted with overwhelming financial challenges after the loss of her husband and breadwinner. The weight of medical bills, memorial costs, son going off to college in the fall, and ongoing living expenses for her family has added to an already unimaginable burden. Melissa must navigate this new reality while supporting her children through their grief and adjusting to life without Eric’s love and partnership.

In this time of sorrow, we have the opportunity to come together as a community to uplift Melissa, Forrest, and Mariah as they move forward. Your support can help ease the financial strain and provide them with the stability they need during this difficult transition.

Eric's legacy of love, kindness, and strength will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. Let’s honor his memory by supporting the family he held so dear. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference.

Thank you for helping the Spieth/Carter family during this challenging time. Together, we can show them they are not alone.
