In September 2025, Bill, Barb and Blake's wife Megan Putman all died in a tragic car crash.

"They have gone home to be with the Lord." The post revealed that other family members are still recovering from injuries from the deadly accident, including Blake, his daughters Lulu and Alena, his son Noah and Brandon and wife Kacie Putman's daughter, Gia. "We are asking for complete healing and strength for each of them," the family said. "My entire family ... all proclaimed that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. He is our hope, our peace and our salvation. Even in this time of heartbreak, we rest in knowing that God is in control."
