June 1, 2025
It is with profound heartbreak and deep sorrow that we announce the untimely passing of Lexi Kay Higgins, the beloved child of John Martin, OSC’s Director of Fields. Lexi passed away on Sunday, June 1, 2025, leaving behind an indescribable void in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know her.
Lexi was a bright light—vibrant, kindhearted, full of laughter, and endlessly curious about the world around her. She touched the lives of everyone she met, radiating warmth and joy in a way that only a child so full of life and love could. Her smile could lift the heaviest of spirits, and her compassion and playfulness brought happiness to every space she entered.
