Memorial Tree

Our digital Memorial Trees are created in loving memory of those who have died by suicide. Adorned with teal and purple ornaments, each tree stands as a gentle tribute to every life that matters and every story that deserves to be remembered.

Each ornament is digitally placed with care, honoring their life, preserving their memory, and reminding every family that their loved one will not be forgotten.

In Memory

Update 7/13/26

Thanks to the generosity and compassion of our wonderful donors, our vision is now becoming a reality. In December 2026, our digital tribute will be brought to life at our East Tennessee Lights of Hope: Gather in the Glow annual event.

This Memorial Tree is dedicated in loving memory of Austin Samuel.

As of July 2026, Mathew is carefully constructing a large illuminated mega tree that will serve as our live Memorial Tree at the Lights of Hope event.

This Memorial Tree will be more than a holiday display. It will be a sacred place where names are spoken, memories are honored, families are seen, and every light serves as a reminder that no life should ever be defined only by the way it ended.

Because every name matters. Every story matters. Every memory matters.

In Memory

Every life has purpose. Every story matters.

Their pain is gone...but the pain does not end there - it is transferred. This section is a heartfelt space where you can honor your loved one. Here, you can add their name to our memorial tree, share a cherished photo, and include brief description of the impact they had on your life and lives of others. Join us in celebrating their legacy and keeping their memory alive.
