Our hearts are broken as we share the devastating news that the Chesky family has experienced an unimaginable loss. On Wednesday, July 16th, their beloved 15-year-old son, Archer Chesky, passed away suddenly and tragically.
There are no words to truly capture the depth of sorrow this family is now facing. In moments like these, grief feels insurmountable. But as a community, we have the opportunity to help ease some of that weight — not by fixing the pain, but by surrounding this family with compassion, care, and practical support.
Providing Meals: A Small Gesture with a Big Impact
One of the most meaningful ways we can help right now is by providing meals for the Chesky family over the next two weeks. While it may seem simple, taking the task of cooking off their shoulders allows them more time to rest, grieve, and simply be together.
We’ve created a Meal Train to coordinate these efforts and ensure that they receive steady support each day. If you are able, please consider signing up to deliver a homemade meal, send takeout, or coordinate a delivery from one of their favorite local restaurants. Every gesture — no matter how big or small — makes a difference during a time like this.
Financial Support: Helping Them Take Time to Heal
We have also established a donation fund to support Archer’s parents as they take time away from work to grieve and care for their other three children. Your generosity will allow them to remain close to home, create space for emotional healing, and manage the practical needs that arise in the aftermath of such a sudden and heartbreaking loss.
All funds raised will go directly to the Chesky family, helping cover daily expenses, childcare, and giving them room to simply breathe without the added weight of financial stress.
How You Can Help
If you’re wondering how to support this grieving family, here’s how you can help right now:
- Sign up to provide a meal via the Meal Train
- Donate to the fund to support time off and healing
- Share this message with others who may want to support
- Keep the Chesky family in your thoughts and prayers
This is a time for all of us to come together — to lift the Cheskys up in the same way they have quietly supported so many over the years. Archer’s loss leaves a deep void, but through love and unity, we can help his family carry on with strength, surrounded by the care they so deeply need.
Thank you for your compassion, your prayers, and your kindness.
Rest in peace, sweet Archer. You are forever loved and never forgotten.
