What should have been a hopeful start to the new year instead became a moment of heartbreak felt across two states. As families welcomed January with fresh plans and quiet celebrations, news spread of a devastating crash that claimed the lives of Thomas Agan, 25, and Jasmine Agan, 26. The young Georgia couple were traveling together on Alabama Highway 9 on the evening of January 1 when their SUV was involved in a head-on collision. In a single, irreversible moment, three small children lost both of their parents, and a close-knit community was left struggling to comprehend the loss.Authorities confirmed that the crash occurred just north of Centre, Alabama, and that Thomas and Jasmine were pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators say the couple was on their way home when the collision happened. The driver of the other vehicle, a 16-year-old, survived with serious injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Officials have stated that the circumstances leading up to the crash are still under review, and no final determination has been released. For the Agan family, however, the details matter far less than the reality now facing their children.Jaxson, Ila Mae, and Kolsie—each under the age of five—are now being cared for by extended family members who are rallying together to provide stability during an unimaginably painful transition. Friends describe Thomas and Jasmine as deeply devoted parents whose lives revolved around their children. Thomas worked at Allatoona Diesel and Automotive, where coworkers remember him as kind, dependable, and quick to bring encouragement into the workplace. In response to the tragedy, his colleagues organized a fundraiser to help support the children’s future, an effort that has quickly gained momentum and widespread backing.As messages of remembrance continue to pour in, family members and friends have shared stories of a couple bound by love, responsibility, and a shared commitment to their young family. While grief remains heavy, those closest to Thomas and Jasmine say they are determined to ensure their children grow up surrounded by care, security, and stories that keep their parents’ memory alive. Though the year began in sorrow for many, the outpouring of compassion that followed has become a quiet testament to the impact Thomas and Jasmine Agan had—and to the enduring strength of community in the face of profound loss.
