The Suwannee County community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Cloey Criggall, a vibrant 19-year-old whose life was tragically cut short in a car accident on I-10 over the weekend. Cloey’s passing has left an indescribable void in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who were blessed to know her.
Earlier this year, Cloey was featured on TV20 as a Scholar Athlete, a recognition that perfectly reflected her determination, talent, and kind spirit. She was not only dedicated to her studies and athletics but also to spreading kindness and positivity wherever she went. Those who knew her describe her as bright, compassionate, and full of life — a young woman whose laughter and energy lit up every room she entered.
Her family shared a heartfelt message in the wake of this unimaginable loss:
“It is with unimaginable heartbreak that we share the passing of our beloved daughter, Cloey. Her departure was sudden and unexpected, and there are no words that can express the depth of our pain. Cloey was pure light — full of laughter, love, and a spirit that radiated warmth to everyone around her. She had such a beautiful future ahead of her, and the world feels so much emptier without her here.”
Those closest to her remember Cloey as a loyal friend, a loving daughter and sister, and a source of endless joy. Her presence brought comfort and happiness to those around her, and her memory will forever remain a reminder of grace, love, and light.
As her family navigates this devastating loss, the community has united in compassion and support. A Meal Train has been organized to help ease their daily burdens during this painful time — offering meals, gift cards, and acts of kindness to show that they are not alone. Every gesture, prayer, and message of love is deeply appreciated by those grieving Cloey’s loss.
Cloey’s legacy will continue in the hearts of all who loved her. She will be remembered for her radiant smile, her generous heart, and the beauty she brought into every life she touched. Though her time here was far too short, her spirit will live on — in every sunrise, every laugh, and every rainbow that paints the sky.
Forever our beautiful girl — Cloey.
Gone too soon, but never forgotten.
