Victims of Titusville Boat Accident Identified: Community Rallies Around Stanton Family
Titusville, FL – The Titusville community is grappling with heartbreak following a tragic boating accident on Sunday, October 26, that claimed the lives of Kaitlynn Stanton and her boyfriend, Wyatt. The loss has left their family, friends, and neighbors in deep mourning.
Kaitlynn and Wyatt’s sudden passing has struck particularly close to home for the Stanton family. Jim and Patty Stanton, who have long been pillars of the Titusville community, are facing unimaginable grief once again. Many residents may recall the family’s previous tragedy: their son, Deputy Kevin Stanton of the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, lost his life in the line of duty in 2018. Deputy Stanton was killed when his patrol car was struck on I-95 near State Road 50 at approximately 5:10 a.m. as he drove to work.
Now, less than five years later, the family is confronted with a second devastating loss. Kaitlynn and Wyatt’s passing has left the community searching for ways to offer comfort and practical support. Recognizing this need, friends and neighbors have set up a Meal Train for Jim and Patty Stanton. The initiative is designed to provide meals to the grieving family, helping to ease the burden of day-to-day responsibilities during this difficult time.
The Meal Train allows participants to either prepare a home-cooked dish or order a meal to be delivered to the Stanton home. Available dates can be found on the Meal Train page, and the family humbly requests only that participants bring meals and kind thoughts as a gesture of support.
“This family has given so much to our community, and now it’s our turn to give back,” said a local neighbor. “We hope that by coming together, we can help ease even a small part of their pain and show them they are not alone.”
The Stanton family’s history of service and sacrifice has left a lasting impact on Titusville, and residents are rallying to honor that legacy in the wake of this tragedy. Community members are encouraged to participate in the Meal Train or share information about it to extend support to as many people as possible.
While no words can truly ease the pain of losing Kaitlynn and Wyatt, the outpouring of love and solidarity from neighbors, friends, and local residents serves as a reminder that the Stanton family is surrounded by a community that cares deeply.
For those wishing to help, details about the Meal Train and available dates can be found through local community channels. In this time of grief, every act of kindness—whether a meal, a message of support, or simply sharing the news—can make a difference for Jim and Patty Stanton as they navigate this unimaginable loss.
