Her husband, Taylor Odlozil, revealed the heartbreaking information on social media Friday. Alongside a household image with their 4-year-old son Weston, he wrote in a prolonged assertion:
“It is with unbelievable sadness that I tell all of you my sweet Haley has passed away. I cannot begin to describe the amount of heartache & grief myself & our entire family is experiencing. I never knew my heart could physically hurt. I’ve never seen someone fight so hard to live. Her love for me, Weston, her family, & her friends is what has kept her going for so many years, especially the last 8 months. I’m so blessed to have had Haley a part of my life for 16 years. It has been my true honor to take care of her.”

He continued:
“I am so grateful for the lessons I have learned from Haley. As the husband I have seen every moment. The happy ones & the sad ones. One thing I can tell you, she suffered greatly fighting this disease that slowly tore her body apart for the last 8 years. The thought of her being completely healed in a body with no pain & no scars in heaven makes me so incredibly happy for her but so overwhelmingly sad I’m not there to see it. My fear of death is so much less knowing I will get to see her one day completely healed. I cannot wait for that day.”
Taylor went on to precise his gratitude for attending to witness “Haley fulfill her life purpose of becoming a mom,” including:
“She was an incredible mother. My heart breaks most for Weston. I don’t think he will ever fully understand what he meant to Haley. He was everything to her. I love you, Haley. More than I can put into words. You are a part of who I am and I will never stop loving you. I can’t wait to see you again.”
Concluding the publish, the social media character thanked their followers for sharing “so much support & prayers for so long” for his or her household:
“Because of who Haley is, her story has exploded across the world. I’ve received emails & messages from people from just about every country. She has changed so many people & brought awareness to this terrible disease. I’m so proud of that. She always said she didn’t want her suffering to be wasted. Haley wanted people to learn from her. I would say she accomplished that!”
Our hearts break for this household. You can learn the complete announcement (beneath):
For those that don’t know their story, Taylor and Haley have been highschool sweethearts since 2008. And simply weeks earlier than their marriage ceremony in 2015, she obtained the devastating information of her analysis of ovarian most cancers. They welcomed their son by way of a surrogate 4 years later. When the couple came upon about Haley’s terminal analysis in October 2022, Taylor started to doc their journey on TikTok. He posted a video concerning the household’s story on Thanksgiving Day in 2022. At the time, Taylor solely had round 50 followers.
But inside hours of posting the video, their story went viral. From then on, they continued to doc her journey with most cancers within the hopes of spreading consciousness and constructing a group of help for others. But greater than that, Hailey shared with People in June she needed a “time capsule” for Weston for when he will get older:
“My biggest thing that I have always wanted from the get-go is that I never want him to think that I left by choice. I want him to know how hard I tried to stay here to be with them. I want him to know how hard and how much I love him and his daddy, and that I tried to do everything I possibly could with the time that I had, to make sure that we made memories.”
As for what she needed their over 2 million followers to remove from her movies? Haley advised the outlet on the time:
“Do not take your life for granted. Always have perspective. Everything in life is about perspective. And whether you’re sitting in traffic, whether it’s raining, there’s something good in every day. Instead of being mad it’s raining, roll down your windows, smell the freshly rained-on grass. There’s something good in every day. Always be thankful for where there are good things. Don’t focus on the bad things.”
We’re sending love and light-weight to Taylor and Weston throughout this tough time. Rest in peace, Haley…
