Remembering TJ

More than the way he died

TJ was 21. He was spontaneous, welcoming, dependable, protective of his family, and talented with electronics and art. His life mattered, and his story continues through the love his family carries and the support this foundation hopes to offer others.

Our mission

A place to speak openly and find support

TJ's Light works to create a compassionate space where people can talk about mental and emotional struggles without shame or judgment. We want people to know they are not alone, that asking for help is not weakness, and that families affected by suicide loss deserve support.

Walking for Hope

Walk in remembrance. Walk for hope.

Join the community for remembrance, suicide-prevention awareness, and support for people and families who may be struggling.
