Infant child of Florida deputies who died by suicide was set to be adopted by relative

On New Year’s Eve, Clayton Osteen, a retired US Marine, tragically chose to end his own life. His partner and colleague, Victoria Pacheco, who was also the mother of their one-month-old infant, followed suit, leaving their baby, Jayce Osteen, orphaned.

Kelly Ridle, a friend of Osteen, set up a GoFundMe page to raise funds for Jayce’s future. All donations received will be used for the benefit of the young child.

Fortunately, a close family member has come forward to adopt the infant, bringing some comfort during this difficult time. On the GoFundMe page, Kelly expressed her gratitude for the outpouring of support and prayers.

May the little boy be blessed with many angels to protect and heal him. Let us hope that no child ever has to endure the pain and loss that this young child has experienced. It is heartbreaking to see someone so small, innocent, and pure go through such difficulties.
