Speaking on the 'We're All Insane' podcast, the new mum and grieving widow Brie, opened up on losing her husband, Easton Kraaima, 26, in a tragic motorcycle crash in May 2022, just days after their wedding. She said: "I lost my husband at 24 to a motorcycle accident while I was five months pregnant. 'He would text me when he made it to work - I just wasn't getting texts. Nothing. Silent.' Opening up on the heartbreaking incident, Brie recalled 'trying not to panic' when she didn't get a response from Easton, who was on his way to work. But less than two minutes after sending him numerous messages, her phone began to ring - and it wasn't Easton. Brie, who is from Utah, continued: 'I'm getting a phone call - our local hospital - I knew they weren't calling about my daughter, something was wrong.' Opening up on the gut-wrenching nightmare, she explained: 'The man I just married four days ago is somewhere in this hospital, dead.' Brie's husband Easton, who was newly married and on the cusp of fatherhood, tragically lost his life in a motorcycle collision. The loss was unfathomable for Brie, who struggled to come to terms with her sudden reality of being both a widow and soon-to-be single mother. I was widowed at 26 when I was 17 weeks pregnant - I thought my husband had just gone to work early, the truth devastated me Following her husband's death, in a heartfelt interview with 2News, Brie said: "Honestly, it still doesn't feel real to me. 'My brain continues to tell me it's a nightmare and Easton's on vacation." I lost my husband at 24 to a motorcycle accident while I was five months pregnant Brie Kraaima Despite the grief, Brie discovered strength in her daughter's arrival, moments that helped mend the collective heartbreak of their family.

Annual Big Hoopla STEM challenge held on Sunday
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – The Big Hoopla annual STEM Challenge was held at Wright State University on Sunday. The event was free and had science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) demonstrations. There were award-winning science shows by Mister C. and Eric Energy. Local college hosted the Big Hoopla 4-Miler race Joshua Hun, a high school senior, spoke with 2 News about his love of robotics. Showing the ones his team had designed, built and programmed for the season. 'All of these robots are custom-built to do a specific task,' Hun spoke as he pointed to a robot on the ground, 'This one down here was designed to pick up the blocks and deliver them to certain areas. The other ones are designed to pick up disks and shoot them out. Kind of like the hippo one over there.' Hun explained how teamwork is critical to the process of designing robots. 'We get a lot of time together as a team to discuss, brainstorm and design, go through this whole iteration process of finding what doesn't work, what does work, and seeing how all of that meshes together and just getting to build robots, which is ultimately the best part of it,' said Hun. Donate blood before Spring Break, get a pickleball set He shared his joy about so many younger kids getting into math and science. 'I got to introduce the concept of robotics and learning at a relatively young age. And so I want to be able to share that with everyone and be able to kind of share the love that I have, which is robotics has this many people,' said Hun. 'It's amazing. It's such a wonderful feeling, being able to see such young kids being introduced to this so soon.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
