TikTok star Taylor Rousseau Grigg has died. She was 25 years old.
Taylor’s husband, Cameron Grigg, shared the tragic news on Instagram Saturday.
Cameron called Taylor’s passing “so sudden and unexpected” and shared a link to a GoFundMe page to help the family with finances.
“No one ever expects to have to deal with this kind of pain and heartache, especially at our age,” Cameron began his post. “This past year Taylor has dealt with more pain and suffering than most people do in a lifetime. And in spite of that she still has been such a light and always brought joy to everyone around her.”
“She is the most brave and strong woman I know, and her confidence in the Lord outweighed every other circumstance she’s faced, even in her darkest hours,” Cameron added. “I know she’s saved my life and so many others out there.”
Cameron then revealed that Taylor’s “earthly body is still here with us being ran by machines to keep her organs viable for donation.”
“More than anything Taylor would want to know that she’s continuing to save people’s lives even after she’s gone from this world,” he wrote. “And even though her earthly body may have failed her, her memory and life will be carried on forever. She doesn’t owe anyone, anything. But she would want everyone to know that she’s more than ok.”
“She’s no longer in pain, but her body has been made whole in Jesus name,” Cameron went on. “We can praise God that she will endure no more suffering and she is truly set free from these earthly chains! SHES BEEN MADE WHOLE AND PERFECT!”
The late TikTok star’s husband said they “don’t have anything financially in order” and have no insurance. He then shared information about the GoFundMe which has raised over $25,000.
“And even if you can’t contribute financially, prayers for our family are always needed,” Cameron said. “I love y’all. Taylor loves y’all. Thank you for all the support and kind words during this time.”
The GoFundMe page says, “It is with our deepest condolences that we acknowledge the passing of Taylor, who has now spread her wings. Her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. At this time we would appreciate everyone’s respect and privacy for our family at this time.”
The page also said that a benefit in Taylor’s honor is in the works.
Taylor had over 1.4 million followers on TikTok.
Her final video was posted on September 26. It featured Taylor spending time with her dog.
The late social media star started dating her husband in 2021. They first connected on Instagram and got engaged in June 2022, before tying the knot over one year later on August 19, 2023.
