Family reflects on woman's unexpected death at Redwest Music Festival.

The uncle of the woman who tragically passed away in an accident outside the Redwest Music Festival shared with ABC4 about her life and decision to be an organ donor. Ava Ahlander was fatally struck by debris due to high winds near the Utah State Fairpark, as reported by the Salt Lake City Police Department. Her passing was confirmed by the SLCPD following the incident. Ava's uncle, Bobby Ahlander, spoke fondly of her, describing her as the lively center of their close-knit family. He recalled Ava's vibrant personality and love for fun, outdoor activities, and music. Ava was known for being the life of the party, and her unexpected loss has deeply impacted her loved ones. Despite the tragedy, Bobby highlighted the positive impact of Ava's decision to become an organ donor, expressing gratitude that her legacy will live on through helping others. Ava had chosen to donate her organs a few years ago, and her family is now preparing to bid their final farewells as she is set to become a donor, providing comfort to other families in need. The family has set up a GoFundMe page to cover funeral costs, with any surplus funds going to charity in Ava's honor. A memorial and celebration of Ava's life are planned for Saturday to honor her memory.
