Heather Stohler who is a former model for designer Calvin Klein has died in a fire last Sunday. The model that has appeared in a number of ads was found dead in her apartment in Indiana after firefighters were called in. They found the apartment in flames; both Stohler and her boyfriend Daniel Risley were rushed to hospital. Heather died later in the day and Risley sadly died on Tuesday, it seems as if the fire was an accident.
Heather Stohler was just 29 and still had her whole life ahead of her; it is such a waste of a young life. Daniel who was just 26 suffered terrible burns across his body and it seemed only matter of time for him to die of his injuries. Although only 29 Heather Stohler whose real name was Heather Arrick had lead a great life and a good career as a model, she appeared at a number of top European fashion shows as well as had her face on the cover of magazines including Vogue Italy and Marie Claire’s German edition. However the model’s biggest break came when she worked alongside Kate Moss with the Calvin Klein campaigns.
Heather Stohler is survived by her adopted parents Ronald and Jackie of Bradenton also her real mother Angela and stepfather Bruce Edwards. She also leaves behind her maternal grandmother and step-grandfather Joyce and Ralph Denney as well as her maternal grandfather William M. Stohler. She is also survived by a number of other family members who will miss her dearly, we can only imagine the pain that family and friends are going through right now.

Heather, I will miss your hugs, your sweet smile, our long talks at tea time. I’ll no longer hear you laugh, but I’ll always think of you when I’m walking through the garden and listening to the birds. I’ll always remember your appreciation of nature and soft fuzzy animals, the way you smiled through your tears when you were hurt, your forgiveness for wrongs done to you and your unconditional love for family and friends. You were beautiful inside and out. God made you precious to me.
I love you Heather Feathers.

To My Doodlebug.
Words just can’t describe the way I miss you right now and the pain I feel over losing you. Oh, my beautiful flower child. I’m so going to miss talking to you and hearing all your funny stories. I’m going to miss planting flowers with you and sitting by the campfire relaxing together. I’m going to miss your sweet smile and all your hugs. But most of all I’m going to miss love poured out to all of us. The kids are all here and we’re all together, but it just isn’t the same. We all agree, you are the one that made the get togethers so much fun. Your love for your family made it so much more special. Where ever your new journey takes you, you have a piece of my heart with you and I will always be there.
I love and miss you more than words can express.
Love, Mom

Danny was a great person and very loving father! He will be missed dearly by his family. I will never forget all the fun times we had growing up together. He was my buddy and my favorite cousin. I didn’t know Heather that well, but she was a really nice person. Danny and Heather were happy together! They were a sweet couple. My sympathy goes out to her family. They both will be missed.
Aunt Karla was with Danny’s mother when he came into the world and was there with her when he left. I love you Danny!
We love you very much and miss you dearly,
Your Cousin Adrian & Aunt Karla
