An outpouring of community support continues to grow for the family of Ashley Flynn, the Ohio mother of two who was fatally shot in her home earlier this month. A GoFundMe established to support her daughters has now surpassed $151,000, as the preliminary hearing for her husband, former worship pastor Caleb Flynn, has been postponed.
Caleb Flynn, 39, has been charged with murder, felonious assault, and tampering with evidence in connection with Ashley's death. He has pleaded not guilty. His bond was set at $2 million, and he has been ordered to have no contact with his children. A scheduled preliminary hearing has been delayed, with further court proceedings expected in the coming weeks.
Ashley Flynn, 37, was remembered by friends, colleagues, and church members as a devoted mother, substitute teacher, and middle school volleyball coach. Those who knew her described her as compassionate, faith-filled, and deeply invested in her children and community. She was active in her local church and volunteered regularly, leaving what many have called a lasting spiritual and relational impact.
The GoFundMe campaign, organized to provide long-term care and stability for Ashley's daughters, has drawn widespread support from neighbors, church members, and individuals across the country. Donations continue to climb as supporters rally around the family during what many have described as an unthinkable tragedy.
Community members have gathered for vigils and prayer services, emphasizing support for the children and extended family. Local leaders have urged continued prayer, patience, and respect for the judicial process as the case moves forward.
While the legal system proceeds, the focus for many in Tipp City remains on caring for two young girls who have lost their mother. Organizers say funds raised will assist with living expenses, counseling, education, and long-term needs.
Further updates are expected as court dates are finalized and proceedings continue.
