Preston Newby, 24, was a youth pastor who "lived to serve other people," says his wife, Tara. So it was no surprise when he took off Interstate late one night to help passengers in a car that had collided with a moose.
After discovering they were injured, Preston returned to his car, said Tara what had happened and ran to the scene. While calling for help, Preston was hit from behind by a driver who swerved to avoid the accident scene. He died moments later in Tara's arms.
The tragic situation would have been much worse if it were not for the decision of Newbys few years earlier to buy life insurance. They had been to an insurance professional to talk about car insurance and tenants. But with their first child on the way, the agent suggested that they also consider life insurance. "We discussed how, if one of us died, the other would stay home with the kids," says Tara.
Unfortunately, this hypothetical discussion come true for Tara who was 10 weeks pregnant with her second child when the life of Preston was tragically cut short. But with life insurance, it is able to be a stay at home mom of two young children. she also paid his student loans and other debts.
More importantly, he gave his time to grieve and to focus on the children. "with so much to stress about while raising two children is a blessing not having to worry about finances, "Tara said. "I feel like it was the last gift from Preston for us."
