Bride takes wedding photos alone after firefighter fiancé killed by alleged drunk driver
DAVIESS COUNTY, IN (WPIX/CNN) — September 29, 2018 was going to be the happiest day of Jessica Padgett’s life. She was supposed to marry her fiancé Kendall Murphy.
But her hopes and dreams of spending a lifetime with Kendall were shattered on November 10, 2017. The Montgomery volunteer firefighter was killed by an alleged drunk driver while helping a crash victim in Daviess County.
Kendall’s death was devastating to many members of the community who remembered him as an incredibly kind man and someone who “gave his all in everything he did.”
Katrina Murphy, Kendall’s mother, approached photographer Mandi Knepp after his death and asked if she would do a photo shoot with Jessica on the day they planned to wed. She thought it would be a good way to honor Kendall and help Jessica with the healing process. Mandi told FOX59 she of course, agreed, and she said she would do anything to help.
