Our Story
Meet the heart behind The Titus Scott Foundation
Our Founder
My name is Ashley, and I am the founder of The Titus Scott Foundation.
In 2016, my family experienced the unimaginable when we suddenly lost our 4-year-old son, Titus, in a tragic accident. In the days that followed, we were overwhelmed with grief while also trying to navigate the practical realities that come with sudden loss: planning a funeral, supporting our other children, and managing the responsibilities of everyday life.
During that time, it became painfully clear how difficult it can be for families to find guidance and support in the immediate aftermath of losing a child.
The Titus Scott Foundation was created so that other families would not have to face those moments alone. Families who connect with the foundation can expect a caring circle of support, empathy, and understanding from someone who truly knows how overwhelming those early days can be.
My hope is that through this work, families in Idaho’s Treasure Valley, and beyond, can feel supported, cared for, and gently guided during one of the most difficult times in their lives.
Our Hero
Titus Scott had a way of lighting up every room he walked into. His energy was bright, joyful, and impossible to ignore. He had a natural charisma that drew people in, and you could not help but smile when he was around.
He was incredibly funny and full of personality, with a joyful, positive outlook on life that seemed to come naturally to him. He connected easily with everyone he met and had a way of making people feel seen and included.
Titus loved superheroes, dinosaurs, and fast cars, and his favorite color was blue. He loved being outdoors, especially camping and exploring. Adventure made him happy.
Titus loved me deeply and often asked me to go on little dates to the park together. Those simple moments meant everything to him.
He also had very strong opinions about vegetables. If corn was on the dinner table, he would have happily skipped dinner altogether. Because of him, I encourage families to choose one day each year to eat ice cream before dinner, just to celebrate the joy and silliness of childhood.
Titus Scott was my hero. I hope his light continues to shine through this foundation so families walking the same path we faced years ago do not have to walk it alone.
With Love,
Ashley
