Crystal Roure was a devoted single mother in Florida who built her life around protecting and providing for her children. Careful and cautious, she waited a year before introducing her church acquaintance Jason Kenney to her family, believing she had finally found happiness when they married. But in December 2025, just days before Christmas, a violent argument over a football game inside their home turned fatal. Jason shot Crystal, then shot her 13-year-old daughter, before fleeing and later taking his own life. In her final moments, Crystal showed extraordinary courage by ordering her 12-year-old son to run to a neighbor and call 911, a decision authorities say saved lives. Her teenage daughter survived against medical odds, and her baby was found unharmed. Investigators later discovered a letter Crystal had written confronting Jason about substance abuse, revealing struggles hidden behind what once looked like a happy family.

Crystal’s sister, Stephanie, described her as hardworking, determined, and entirely devoted to her children — a mother who never missed a school event and worked tirelessly to build a stable home. Though Stephanie noticed her sister’s happiness dim after marriage, no formal abuse reports were ever filed. Now, the family is focused on healing and honoring Crystal’s memory as a mother who died protecting her children. A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to support the three children, cover medical and funeral expenses, and provide long-term stability. The fundraiser has drawn overwhelming community support, reflecting the impact of Crystal’s life and the heartbreak of her loss. Her family vows that her children will always know the strength, love, and sacrifice of the mother who gave everything for them.
