Some losses are difficult to put into words, leaving behind a silence that families and communities carry long after the news is received.
Today, we remember Emma Scoles, 16, and her father, Kevin Scoles, 60, whose lives came to an unexpected end at their home in Bridgeport Township, Michigan.
Emma was only 16 years old. She was a daughter, a student, a friend and a young person with many years and possibilities ahead of her. Her family and those who knew her are left with memories of the life she shared with them.
Kevin, 60, was Emma's father. His passing alongside his daughter has left their loved ones facing an especially difficult loss.
According to current reporting, a family member went to the family's home on Indiana Avenue at approximately 8 a.m. Thursday to check on them and discovered the two deceased. Authorities responded and began investigating the circumstances.
At this time, the investigation remains ongoing. Details surrounding what happened inside the residence have not been fully established in the available reporting.
Beyond the circumstances of their deaths, Emma and Kevin were members of a family and community. They had relationships, memories and everyday moments with people who cared about them.
For those grieving, photographs, conversations and shared experiences may become lasting reminders of the lives they lived and the connection they shared as father and daughter.
May Emma Scoles and Kevin Scoles be remembered with dignity, compassion and love. May their family and loved ones find strength and comfort during this difficult time.
🕯️ Two lives remembered. Two lives forever missed. 🕊️
