Kisers Honor Late Son Trigg with Tattoos and a New Brother Named Teddy
Emilie and Brady Kiser are honoring their infant son, Theodore “Teddy” Kiser, following the passing of his elder sibling, Trigg, four months prior.
Tattoo artist Sydney Smith, based in Arizona, showcased a video on TikTok on Tuesday, September 23, featuring the couple’s identical delicate teddy bear tattoos rendered in red. Additionally, Emilie’s arm displayed two more pieces of body art: a cowboy hat and the name Trigg.
The clip was accompanied by an audio excerpt from the film The Adventures of Milo and Otis.
The narration stated, “Nonetheless, as though aware of their mutual reliance, Milo and Otis forged a profound friendship.”

Emilie, aged 26, and Brady, 29, celebrated the birth of Teddy in March. Just two months subsequent, it was reported that their elder son, Trigg, had passed away after being discovered unresponsive in the family's backyard swimming pool.
By July, the Chandler Police Department had suggested criminal charges against Brady, who was present at home during the occurrence. Nevertheless, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office eventually opted not to proceed with prosecution.
Emilie publicly addressed Trigg's passing for the first time in August.
“A loss of this profound nature seems inexpressible,” she posted on Instagram then. “I have dedicated days, weeks, and months to articulating it, while also allowing myself the necessary period to process the bereavement of my child.”
Emilie further stated, “Trigg is our beloved child and closest companion. The radiance and essence he introduced into existence were vivid, untainted, joyous, and unmistakable. His absence is felt incessantly, and moving forward frequently appears insufferable. I had never anticipated enduring such a form of sorrow or the anguish of his sudden departure.”
The social media personality made her comeback to TikTok on September 20, adorned with a necklace inscribed with “Trigg.”
“I’ve longed for our daily conversations,” she expressed. “I truly cherish this community we’ve built, and I hope that by returning and sharing content I deem appropriate, I can re-engage with you all and potentially offer assistance to anyone facing comparable circumstances. I’ve been absent from online platforms for a while. I am simply striving daily to comprehend this, to navigate my existence. I’m approaching things one day at a time. I intend to apply the same approach to my online postings.”

On Tuesday, Emilie used an Instagram Story to acknowledge the encouragement she and Brady garnered from their followers.
“I simply wished to express my heartfelt gratitude for the affection and backing shown on my latest update. I have been genuinely overwhelmed by the empathy, solace, and solidarity,” she penned. “I am grateful that so many of you have shared comparable personal journeys and narratives detailing your approaches to coping with sorrow and bereavement.”
Emilie proceeded, “The online realm can often feel quite bleak, yet in instances such as this, I am reminded of the immense positive impact that mutual aid and solidarity within a community can provide. Should anyone who observes my content or encounters this message be contending with sorrow, I simply want to convey my availability for them and my hope that they are receiving the essential care and encouragement.”
