The family of Ashley Flynn is speaking out after her murder, which was allegedly committed by her husband, who was a former worship pastor and American Idol contestant.
According to ChurchLeaders, Ashley Flynn’s sister, Kayla Keyt, discussed on social media what it has been like after the death of her sister.
On Facebook, Kayla wrote:
The outpouring of love and support we have received over the past three weeks has been more than we could have ever imagined. Our family’s deepest desire has been to thank each and every person who has blessed us, but doing so feels like trying to catch every droplet of a waterfall of blessings — beautiful, overwhelming, and impossible to gather all at once.
From the gifts for the girls and our new family of six, to the meals, groceries, laundry help, and everyday acts of kindness… from the generous donations toward the Flynn girls’ future, to the hands that helped renovate our home to make space for six… and the constant messages, prayers, and cards of encouragement — we are deeply grateful.
We could not have walked this road without each of you, and we know there is still much ahead. But we trust that the Lord will guide us hour by hour and day by day. He promises to work all things for our good and His glory, and we are holding tightly to that promise.
Ashley left a beautiful legacy — one of faith, joy, and a deep love for Jesus and her children. We already see that legacy rippling through this community and through her two precious daughters, whom we now have the incredible honor of raising.
She also encouraged people to live the way that her sister did: be bold and on fire for Jesus.

If you want to honor Ashley, the best way to do it is simple: love people well, pray boldly for your family, and point others to Jesus the way she always did. Her life was a light, and that light is still spreading.
The past several nights before bed, the six of us “hi-fived” one another saying, “We made it through another day. And with God’s help, we will make it through the next one too — together.”
Your love, prayers, and support have been tangible evidence of how the body of Christ surrounds and carries one another in the hardest moments of life.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
Ashley Flynn’s husband, Caleb Flynn, has been arrested for her murder and faces charges for two counts of tampering with evidence and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon. Caleb is believed to have created a crime scene to “throw off detectives.”
As this grieving family continues to walk through unimaginable loss, pray that the peace of Christ would surround Kayla, the children and every member of the Flynn family as they face the difficult days ahead.
