Alors qu’ils étaient partis pour passer du bon temps en amoureux, Jason et Rebecca ont tragiquement perdu la vie.
Les vacances en amoureux de Jason et Rebecca, 44 ans, virent au drame: parents de quatre enfants, ils décèdent dans un terrible accident de la routeFacebook
Rebecca van Uitert et Jason Howell, tous deux âgés de 44 ans, étaient partis en vacances en amoureux à Hawaï quand tout a basculé. Parents de quatre enfants, ils sont décédés dans un terrible accident de voiture.
Les deux parents se trouvaient à l’arrière d’un véhicule conduit par une autre personne quand une voiture venant de face les a percutés de plein fouet. Au moment du tragique accident, les quatre enfants du couple séjournaient chez leurs grands-parents,
dans l’Utah, en Amérique, lit-on dans les colonnes de Closer.
Rebecca travaillait dans un cabinet d’avocats. Ses collègues, bouleversés, lui ont rendu un vibrant hommage après avoir appris la triste nouvelle : « Becca était une avocate talentueuse qui se consacrait à son travail, à son équipe et à ses clients ».
Rebecca a également été qualifiée d’épouse « dévouée et mère exceptionnelle ». « Elle nous manque énormément et nous pensons à elle avec amour », ont ajouté les collègues de la défunte.
Quant à Jason, il était médecin à l’hôpital. Ses collègues aussi ont été bouleversés par la nouvelle : « Le Dr Howell était un ami bien-aimé, un médecin et un chef du personnel médical. Sa compassion et son attitude accueillante l’ont rendu cher aux patients
et à ses collègues soignants ».
Un ami du couple a ajouté : « La sphère d’influence de Jason et Becca était large, et nous voulons que leurs familles sachent combien de vies ils ont touché ».

With heavy hearts, we share with you the news of the untimely passing of one of our dear Exponent sisters, Rebecca van Uitert, and her husband, Jason Howell. Becca was an early blogger for us and gave a powerful keynote at our 2019 retreat. She was a source
of wisdom and hope, and spent her life fighting for those on the margins. They leave behind their four amazing children.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

I’m just heartbroken to hear the news. I was lucky enough to serve with Becca in the Relief Society in Queens, NY and she may have been the only Mormon woman to ever truly understand me. Her loss will reverberate through many

Rebecca van Uitert and Jason Howell, both 44, were involved in a traffic collision that killed three people on Sunday, according to the Hawaii Police Department.
Authorities said the crash occurred after a Toyota 4Runner traveling in the opposite direction crossed the road's diving line, striking the couple's car head-on. After the initial collision, the Toyota 4Runner was struck by another vehicle.
The driver of the Toyota, who also died, has been identified as Maile Robello, a 34-year-old resident of Volcano.
Police said that a "negligent homicide investigation" is ongoing but that potential causes of the collision have yet to be determined. Authorities previously shared that they believed that "inattention and speed" played a role.
"We are devastated to lose Becca and Jason and words can't describe the sorrow we feel," read a post shared on van Uitert's Facebook page.
At the time of the collision, the couple's four children were in Utah and spending time with their grandparents, multiple tributes stated.

their parents are."
