Mourning Weston: Whitney Purvis struggles after sudden loss
The sad news of the loss of a young life has shocked actress Whitney Purvis' fan base. On June 2, 2025, her son Weston Owen Gosa Jr. died at just 16 years old. The teenager was found lifeless in his room after failing to wake up from his sleep. That morning, Whitney's family found the boy around 7 a.m., and several cardiopulmonary resuscitation attempts were immediately made. However, these were unsuccessful. Whitney immediately called an ambulance, but Weston was pronounced dead at the local hospital. Tag24 reports that the exact cause of death is still unknown. However, Weston suffered from several illnesses, including diabetes and autoimmune diseases.
In an emotional message on Facebook, Whitney expressed her sadness and shared a photo of her son with the words: "Rest in peace my baby. I love you forever." She emphasized that Weston would always be her baby and expressed her incomprehension about the cruelty of life. The situation of loss could not be more tragic for Whitney, as she has struggled with various personal problems in recent years.
Financial difficulties
In addition to her immeasurable loss, Whitney also has financial worries. According to Promiflash she is unable to cover her son's funeral costs. Weston's stepmother, Amy Gosa, has launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise support for the funeral. The campaign's goal is 12,000 euros, so far around 1,700 euros have been collected.
Whitney Purvis, 32, who rose to fame on MTV's 16 and Pregnant, has faced significant challenges in the past, both in her professional and personal life. After Weston was born in 2009, she temporarily lost custody of him and her other son, River. She was also arrested last year for failing to pay child support for her sons. The loss of Weston comes at an already difficult time in Whitney's life.
The public's sympathy and support through the GoFundMe campaign could be of great importance to Whitney and her family during this difficult time. The loss of a child is an immeasurable suffering, and the challenges Whitney must now overcome could be overwhelming.
