Jordan Cashmyer made a name for herself in the hit series 16 & Pregnant. Unfortunately, Jordan Cashmyer had passed away at 26 years of age earlier this month.
About a week after the “16 and Pregnant” star’s stepmom announced her passing, a GoFundMe was launched by her family to raise money for her 6-month-old daughter, Lyla.
The family then detailed Jordan Cashmyer’s struggles with addiction. The stepmother claimed that Cashmyer’s death was due to her addiction issues and Lyla even lost her father to addiction a few months prior.
Our daughter Jordan tragically lost her life on January 15, 2022, at the age of 26. Leaving behind a sweet little 6-month-old girl. Addiction plagues many families, and our family was not immune to it. Jordan was always so full of life and full of personality. She had a way of always making those around her laugh and smile, and her smile was truly contagious. Our family is heartbroken, and we will forever miss Jordan. We are now faced with the grim outcome that our grand daughter that we have been raising will never get to make memories with her mother or father, never getting to know them. Lyla lost her father to addiction at two months & now her mother at six months. Our family has to now not only put our daughter to rest but navigate through starting over with an infant who has lost both her parents in her six months of life. Please help our family cover the costs of Jordan’s memorial and start a fund for Lyla’s future. We did not foresee starting back over, and all that comes along with that. Lyla has been our family’s greatest joy and addition; she has been our saving grace during this difficult time. Myself, my wife, our kids, and sweet little Lyla have been shown so much love and words of kindness in the past nine days since Jordan’s passing. Our hearts are grateful. We pray Jordan is finally at peace. Lots of Love, The Cashmyers.
Cashmyer was struggling with mental health issues, addiction and was often suicidal. In 2017 she started working in a strip club and got arrested for drug possession. She lived a difficult life and it is sad to see a young life end so quickly.
