Fiercely loyal with a gentle heart: Family remembers 19-year-old woman killed in crash after swerving to avoid deer

A St. Johns County family is heartbroken over the loss of a 19-year-old woman killed Sunday night after a car crash on State Road 206.

According to a GoFundMe set up to help the family during this difficult time, the crash happened after 19-year-old C Leigh swerved to avoid hitting a deer.

The fundraiser was created by C’s aunt Jessica, to help ease the financial burden on C’s mother and brothers during this difficult time.

She writes, “C’s passing has left our family heartbroken to say the least. We find comfort in knowing she was met in heaven by loved ones who welcomed her. C was intelligent, strong, and naturally beautiful. She was athletic, mechanically inclined, and never afraid to get her hands dirty. She lived life her own way—fiercely loyal, honest, funny, and incredibly giving, with a gentle heart and a deep love for animals and nature.”

“She had many passions—reading, music, laughter. She could shred on her skateboard and loved spending time outdoors, and being with her dog, Roscoe. She talked of becoming a veterinarian, had recently considered the military, and was even exploring tattooing.

“The loss of C at such a young age is unimaginable. She will truly be missed by all that knew her.”
