Today, our Coastal family is grieving the sudden loss of one of the individuals we have had the privilege of supporting for many years, Hawley.
When someone becomes part of Coastal, they become part of our daily lives, our routines, our laughter, our memories, and our hearts. Hawley was no exception. His passing is being felt deeply by staff, peers, friends, and all who knew him.
As we reflect on this loss, we are also reminded of the many individuals we have loved and lost throughout the years. Each person who walks through our doors leaves an imprint on this organization and on the people around them. Their lives matter here. Their presence matters here. And they continue to shape who we are long after they are gone.
We are holding Hawley’s family, housemates, friends, and everyone affected in our thoughts during this incredibly difficult time. We are also keeping close all of the memories of those from our Coastal family who are no longer with us but remain forever part of our story.
At Coastal, our mission has always been about enhancing lives, building connection, and creating meaningful days because none of us ever truly know how important an ordinary day can become.
Rest peacefully, Hawley. You will be missed.
Sheila 💙
