"It is with the deepest sorrow that we inform everyone that our brother, Brit Turner, has moved on from this life.  If you had the privilege of knowing Brit on any level, you know he was the most caring, empathetic, driven and endearing person one could ever hope to meet.  Brit was Blackberry Smoke’s True North, the compass that instituted the ideology that will continue to guide this band.  Brit has battled glioblastoma since his diagnosis in the fall of 2022 and fought every day. We ask for prayers for his family and band brothers.  More information on arrangements will be forthcoming. Thank you to everyone who has supported and been there for Brit and his family through this fight." @blackberrysmoke

We are connected with this 501(c)(3) called Families and Communities Together (FACT) Relief, which works to support families when the head of household is diagnosed with a catastrophic illness. While the Turner Family is financially stable, as we discuss options, research, and cultivate plans for what the future looks like, we know there will be unforeseen situations. Residual funds are granted to deserving causes.  

Many of you know we have created and supported our own 501(c)(3) endowment- The Lana Turner Foundation, to support other families undergoing pediatric cancer treatments for instances where there are no options. This has helped so many families going through the tough road of pediatric cancer and we see what a difference it can make when our community comes together.  

Our friends at FACT Relief have graciously offered their resources and community around families battling catastrophic illnesses. We are immeasurably appreciative of that. Thank you all for the encouragement shown in your outpouring of love, support, and understanding through this struggle.
