Whitney Purvis Announces Son Weston’s Death

Expressing her sadness and disbelief on social media, Whitney wrote, “This is so hard to write. My beautiful son, Weston, has passed away. He was only 16 years old. Life is so cruel and unfair. I just don't understand. Oh, my baby is gone and I don't know what to do with myself.”
She further wrote, “He was so perfect. This is really my worst nightmare come true. How do you go on in life after losing a child? I'm in disbelief, this cannot be happening. I don't want it to be real. I would do anything just to hold him. Words just can't describe the pain I am feeling.”

“I love you so much, Weston Owen Gosa. God, I love you so much. You are my heart. I was so proud of the young man you were becoming. I just can't go on without you. Rest in Peace, my angel. You are gone too soon. April 2, 2009 - June 2, 2025,” she continued.

She shared a post, which features a picture of a mother and son smiling as they embraced each other. The caption read, Rest in Peace, my baby Weston. I love you forever, precious. I'll never understand why life has to be so cruel. You'll always be my baby.”

Weston was suffering from a lot of health problems. While Purvin didn’t reveal the cause of death, his stepmom Amy explained in her post that the family ordered an autopsy report to understand the cause of his death.

“All we know is we got up this morning around 7 am and tried to wake him up, he was not breathing, we attempted CPR and called an ambulance. The paramedics attempted it as well and took him to the hospital in Gordon County where he was pronounced dead,” she wrote.
Amy continued: “He had several health issues as well as diabetes. We are completely heartbroken and in shock. It was so unexpected. Losing a child is the most painful thing I have ever experienced and I hope I never experience it again.”

“He was the most amazing son I could have asked for. He was brilliant, smart, funny and had so much potential in life. It doesn't feel real. Please keep our family and Whitney in your thoughts and prayers as we mourn such a brilliant amazing life that was our son. Thank you,” she concluded.
