Family spokesperson and brother-in-law Rob Misleh has focused on grief and justice, describing the couple’s “beautiful, strong, and deeply happy relationship” while caring for the children. A GoFundMe has raised over $170,000 for their future.
Spencer, an Ohio State graduate fluent in Spanish and Big Brothers Big Sisters volunteer, was energetic and generous. Monique, with a childhood education background, was remembered as warm and an excellent baker. The couple married in their home in 2021, weeks from their fifth anniversary.
