A devastating car accident on Interstate 15 in Payson, Utah, has taken the life of Christopher Suiter, beloved husband, father of five, and co-founder and CEO of True Love Skincare, LLC. The tragic collision occurred on Tuesday afternoon, May 27, when an SUV traveling northbound crossed the median and struck Suiter’s Jeep head-on. Both drivers were killed instantly.
Christopher, a respected entrepreneur and community figure who studied at Riverside Community College and resided in Santaquin, Utah, is being remembered not only for his leadership and passion in business but more importantly, for his deep love for his family. Just ten days before the accident, the Suiter family had laid their son Brian to rest after he died by suicide on May 7.
His wife, Jenn Suiter, shared a heart-wrenching post on social media:
“How is this my life?!?! There is no other way to say this but my husband Christopher Suiter was killed in the horrible, fatal accident on I-15 yesterday Tuesday afternoon. We just had my son’s funeral 10 days ago.”
She added, “It was not Chris’s fault, and they say he died on impact… We need your prayers and so does the family of the boy that also died. God loves us all and He will be with us during this hard time!!”
According to the Utah Highway Patrol, an SUV traveling northbound veered off course for unknown reasons, crossed the cable barrier in the median, and slammed into Christopher’s southbound Jeep. Both vehicles had only one occupant each, and both men died at the scene. The identity of the SUV’s driver has not yet been publicly released.
All southbound lanes of I-15 near exit 253 were closed for several hours following the accident. The road was finally reopened around 10 p.m. Authorities continue to investigate the cause of the crash, though initial reports confirm that Christopher was not at fault.
In the wake of the tragedy, a GoFundMe campaign titled *”Community Support Needed After Payson I-15 Tragedy”* has been launched by family friend Katie Higley to support the Suiter family. The fundraiser highlights the unimaginable grief the family is enduring and the financial challenges they now face without life insurance to cover funeral costs.

Christopher leaves behind his wife Jenn and five children, now navigating a future without both their father and brother. Loved ones and community members describe Christopher as a man of unwavering faith, warmth, and purpose. He was known for his gentle heart, entrepreneurial spirit, and fierce devotion to his family.
The family has asked for continued prayers and support as they grieve. Funeral details will be announced in the coming days.
