At just three years old, Zoey’s vibrant life changed dramatically with a sudden cancer diagnosis. Up until that point, she was a lively, energetic child, thriving in a loving and nurturing environment.
One day, during a routine play session, Zoey lost control of her hands after a fall. Concerned by this unexpected incident, her family quickly sought medical help. What they learned turned their world upside down.
Doctors diagnosed Zoey with DIPG, a rare and aggressive brain tumor. For Casey, Zoey’s mother, this news was nothing short of a nightmare—a heart-wrenching reality no parent should have to endure.
Despite the shock, Zoey's family found the strength to face the challenging road ahead. They rallied around her, showing remarkable resilience as she underwent extensive cancer treatments in the years that followed.
For a time, a specialized radiation therapy center in Germany provided hope, but Zoey’s condition eventually worsened, bringing unimaginable pain and heartbreak.
On July 4, 2018, Zoey passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family. In the face of their impending loss, they embraced every moment, gathering loved ones to say a final goodbye to their precious girl.
In a brave and poignant decision, Casey shared these final moments on social media, capturing their bittersweet farewell—a moment filled with Disney songs, family love, and the heartbreaking beauty of saying goodbye.
Through their Facebook page, "Zoey’s Light," the family continues to honor Zoey's memory by spreading love and hope, drawing inspiration from the joy and light she brought into the world.
In their tribute, they recognize Casey and Ben as extraordinary parents, who faced the unimaginable with unwavering love and courage, while also offering prayers for Zoey's peace.
Rest in peace, sweet Zoey. Your light will forever shine in the hearts of those who knew you.
