Emilie Kiser’s son, Trigg, who tragically passed away at the tender age of three, is being remembered in a heartfelt tribute by his friend, influencer Avery Woods. On June 2, 2025, Woods shared a poignant video on TikTok, marking her return to social media after a two-week hiatus following the heartbreaking incident. In the video, she showcased her makeup routine while wearing a chic beige outfit, accessorized with a silver pendant necklace inscribed with Trigg’s name—a touching homage to the young boy.
Woods captioned her post, “Been a while since I put on makeup so I thought I’d get ready for our anniversary,” along with a white heart emoji and the message, “Missed you.” This heartfelt gesture resonated with many, as it highlighted the enduring bond between friends during times of profound loss.
Trigg, the son of Emilie Kiser and her husband Brady Kiser, died on May 18, 2025, following an accidental drowning in their family’s backyard pool just days earlier on May 12. The Kiser family, who also welcomed their second son, Teddy, in March 2025, is grappling with this unimaginable loss. Emilie and Brady, who married in 2020, are now focused on supporting each other and their surviving child during this incredibly challenging time.
In the wake of Trigg’s death, an investigation was conducted by the Chandler, Arizona Police Department. The investigation concluded nearly a month later, confirming that Trigg had drowned in the family pool. Emilie had filed a lawsuit to prevent the release of sensitive records related to the investigation, emphasizing her desire to protect her family’s privacy during this painful period. The lawsuit described Emilie’s anguish, stating, “Emilie is going through a parent’s worst nightmare right now,” as she tries to navigate life after losing her young son.
In a statement regarding the lawsuit, Emilie expressed her distress over the potential public disclosure of her family’s tragedy, seeking to shield her family from further grief. The police confirmed that Trigg was found unconscious in the pool and was rushed to the hospital, where he was later flown to Phoenix Children’s Hospital for advanced care.
As the community rallies around the Kiser family, Emilie’s brother, Nick Espinosa, shared his thoughts on life after such a loss in a poignant message that
