In the middle of finalizing a major business deal in Miami, Bill Karns received a call that would change his life in an instant.
His 26-year-old son, beloved and well-known, had died—pushed from a building. Karns faced the longest flight of his life, returning to Tampa Bay to confront the horrific reality. His life suddenly upended, Bill and his family retreated to their home, seeking meaning in the midst of grief. Bill stayed inside for weeks. That’s when Crisis Connect reached out.
Crisis Connect founder Terry Collier connected with Bill, gently guiding him on a journey toward healing and recovery. Though the ache of loss would always remain, Bill channeled his grief into something positive by establishing ROC Park in Madeira Beach, Florida—a place of remembrance for parents who have lost a child.
