Stella Grace Bright

Writing something that fully encompasses the spirit of someone you loved so deeply feels like trying to hold the ocean in your hands. We're not just writing about Stella—we’re trying to honor her, protect her, and do her justice. And that’s sacred work. It’s tender. It’s raw. It’s hard. This isn’t just a story we’re telling; it’s a piece of our heart we’re offering to the world.

​

Stella was a shining light—vibrant, kind, creative, and full of life. She had a sense of humor that could brighten even the worst day, an eye for beauty in everything, and a heart that loved deeply. Whether she was baking, working out, laughing with her twin sister Liv, or simply being her wonderfully unique self, Stella brought joy to everyone around her.

​

We lost Stella just two days after her 16th birthday in a tragic car accident. While nothing can fill the space she left behind, we are committed to honoring her in ways that reflect who she was and what she stood for.

​

The Stella Grace Bright Foundation was created to carry forward her light—by promoting teen driver safety, raising awareness about peer pressure, and equipping young people with the tools and support to make safe choices second nature.

 

Stella’s spirit lives on in every life we touch, and in every decision made with safety, kindness, and courage.
