Ashton Purdy, age 35, passed away on February 2, 2026. He was born on June 15, 1990, and though his life ended far too soon, the impact he made will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.

Ashton is survived by his parents, Troy and Marisha Purdy; his brothers, Aaron and Davion Purdy; his beloved children, Alice, Elena, and Newton Purdy; as well as his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and many cousins, all of whom loved him dearly. His children were the greatest joy of his life, and his love for them was constant and unwavering.

Ashton faced struggles in his life, but he is now at peace and in a better place. Though his passing feels far too early, those who knew him take comfort in knowing he is no longer burdened by hardship. He will be remembered not for his struggles, but for his heart, his love for his children, and the moments of joy he shared with family.

Some of the most cherished memories of Ashton come from his childhood-camping trips, time spent outdoors, and being surrounded by family. Those moments of laughter, togetherness, and love are what will live on in our hearts and continue to remind us of who he truly was.

For those who wish, flowers may be sent to McDougal Funeral Home in Ashton's memory. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
