With unimaginable grief, Ella Horne has shared the devastating news of a tragedy that has shattered her family forever. On a day that began like any other, their lives were forever altered by a horrific motor vehicle accident caused by an 18-wheeler driver who reportedly fell asleep at the wheel. In that split second, Ella’s beloved firstborn son Zabar McKellar, his devoted wife Shaun, and their precious youngest child Kason were taken from this world far too soon.
The McKellar family was traveling together when the crash occurred, a senseless and heartbreaking incident that ended three vibrant lives in an instant. The shockwaves of this loss have rippled through the family and community, leaving behind not only deep sorrow but also unanswered questions and aching hearts.
Zabar was a loving father, a guiding light, and the cornerstone of his family. He carried the strength and tenderness that only a firstborn could—always steady, always dependable. His wife Shaun was a radiant spirit—kind, compassionate, and fiercely dedicated to her family. Together, they had built a life rooted in love, faith, and commitment. Their youngest son, Kason, was the joy of their hearts—a child full of laughter, curiosity, and the sweet innocence of youth. The pain of losing three generations in one devastating moment is almost too great to bear.
Amidst the sorrow, there remains a fragile thread of hope: Zabar and Shaun’s daughter, Evan, survived the crash and is currently fighting for her life in the ICU at Parkland Hospital. Though in critical condition, Evan is showing incredible signs of strength and resilience. She remains in the hearts and prayers of everyone who knows and loves her, and the family clings to the hope that she will recover and carry forward the legacy of her parents and little brother.
Ella Horne, in the depths of her sorrow, has expressed profound gratitude to the friends, extended family, and community members who have offered prayers, comfort, and support. In her own words, she describes being overwhelmed by grief yet uplifted by the outpouring of love. This tragedy has united hearts across distances, reminding us all of the fragility of life and the power of collective compassion.
As Ella and her family navigate this devastating loss, she humbly asks for continued prayers—especially for Evan’s recovery. Each day is a step through uncharted grief, and the road ahead will be long and heavy with absence. But through it all, their faith, their love for each other, and the cherished memories of Zabar, Shaun, and Kason will carry them forward.
A memorial service to celebrate the lives of Zabar, Shaun, and Kason will be announced in the coming days. In the meantime, the family asks for privacy as they mourn their loved ones and hold vigil for Evan.
Let us honor this family not only with our words, but with the love and grace we show to one another. In memory of those gone too soon—and in hope for the one who still fights on.
Rest in eternal peace, Zabar, Shaun, and Kason.
You are missed beyond measure and loved beyond words.
