The late Emmett Taylor Hawn was a beloved 4.5-year-old boy from San Antonio, Texas. Emmett tragically passed away on May 25, 2024, in a devastating accident that has left his family and community heartbroken. Emmett’s parents, Ethan and Sienna Hawn, along with his older brother Joshua, are mourning this unimaginable loss.
The Hawn family has deep military roots, with both Ethan and Sienna being veterans, and they are well-supported by the Military Working Dog Family. Originally from different states—Ethan from Florida and Sienna from California—the family had made their home in San Antonio. Sienna’s parents and sister recently relocated to San Antonio, and other family members are traveling from across the country to provide support.
In the wake of this tragedy, a GoFundMe campaign titled "Love and Support for the Hawn Family" was organized by Ashley Carnicello to assist the family with travel arrangements and other needs. As of today, $4,710 has been raised out of the $10,000 goal, with contributions from 29 donors. The outpouring of support is a testament to how deeply Emmett’s life touched those around him.
Tammie Corina, a family member, expressed the collective grief in a heartfelt Facebook post: "Our precious baby boy Emmett Taylor Hawn has gone to heaven. Our hearts are broken and our world is shattered. Thank you for your support. Please keep our family in your prayer."
The Facebook community has rallied around the Hawn family, offering condolences and prayers. Kim Swasey-Bardin wrote, "We have had your beautiful family in our thoughts and prayers since the tragedy happened." Pearl Jaquez added, "I am so sorry Cousin! You could see all the love through you and the families pics. Lots of love and prayers your way."
Michelle Roland conveyed the collective sentiment: "Oh Tammie! There are simply no words. I am so very sorry for your unimaginable loss." Similarly, Kayla Parker stated, "Tammie, I have no words. Your family’s loss is unimaginable. I’m praying for you all."
The grief is palpable among those who knew Emmett. Shellee Castoe Quintal said, "Such a horrible tragedy, my heart is truly breaking for your family! All my prayers, thoughts, and love go out to you all. I want to be there to wrap my arms around you, hugs my friend." Julie Hawn Kellems expressed her sorrow, saying, "I am so sorry! The day my sister called me, my heart sank. Sending my prayers and my deepest condolences!"
The GoFundMe page describes the profound impact of Emmett’s loss, particularly on his brother Joshua, who is only 7 years old. The boys shared a close bond, making this tragedy even more painful for the family. The funds raised will help cover travel costs and other expenses as the family navigates this difficult time.
This heartbreaking event has brought together friends, family, and the broader community in a collective effort to support the Hawn family. As they grieve the loss of their precious Emmett, the support and prayers from their community provide a small measure of comfort in their time of need.
