Two online GoFundMe fundraising campaigns have been set up to help the families of Emily Mohler and Cody Nevins, who were both stabbed to death last week at her home near Olney.

Mohler’s 3-year-old daughter Piper was also stabbed to death allegedly by Mohler’s ex-husband Kameron Barge.

“Funds will be used by the family for Emily and Piper’s end-of-life needs and to help give Emily’s children the life she dreamed for them,” according to the GoFundMe page.

Emily was well-known in the Whitefish community, where she worked as a self-employed photographer and goldsmith.

“As a community we are all completely shaken by this senseless act,” the GoFundMe narrative stated.

Emily is survived by four children, her mother Jan, father Tom, brothers Josh (Mandy), Sam (Cora) and Isaac (Alexis), and nephews and nieces.

Remaining funds after end-of-life costs for Emily and Piper will be managed by the intended guardians of Emily’s children to help with living and educational costs. Funds will go into a designated bank account to be dispersed at the discretion of the guardians.

Classmates of Emily and Cody from the Bigfork High School Class of 1996 have started the GoFundMe page in honor of Cody Nevins.

The Nevins family, according to the site, has expressed their gratitude to the community for its support.

Nevins was an artist and educated at the at the Art Institute of Seattle followed by a job at Universal Studios. He had a love for small town life, the outdoors and family, which brought him back to Montana, the GoFundMe description stated.

All donations are to be gifted to a college fund for Cody’s two children.

Both pages mention supporting those impacted by domestic violence.

Court filings detailed a long history of alleged domestic abuse by Kameron Barge. Most recently Emily had filed a petition for a temporary restraining order against Kameron after a reported incident on Memorial Day at Stillwater Lake.
