In the early hours of December 10—sometime between 1:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.—Megan’s life was forever altered by a horrific act of violence. Her former boyfriend, Nate, forcibly entered her home and brutally assaulted her, leaving her with devastating injuries. During the attack, he reportedly beat her nearly to death and, among other terrifying acts, pointed a loaded firearm at her head.
Following the incident, Nate was arrested and jailed, facing serious charges including Aggravated Battery resulting in great bodily harm, Domestic Battery by Strangulation, and Obstructing Justice. However, on Saturday, December 13, he posted bail and was released, a development that placed Megan’s family and friends on constant alert due to his documented history of extreme violence. Although a no-contact order was issued, those close to Megan lived in fear, deeply concerned for her safety knowing he was no longer behind bars.
Tragically, despite medical efforts, Megan later succumbed to the injuries she sustained during the attack.
Megan’s death stands as a heartbreaking and powerful reminder that domestic violence does not always look the way people expect. It is not always loud or visible. Often, it exists in fear, isolation, and quiet pleas for help that go unheard. Her passing has caused many within the community to pause, reflect, and recommit to listening more closely, checking in more intentionally, and believing survivors when they speak.
Above all else, Megan should be remembered for who she truly was: a mother who loved her children deeply, a human being deserving of safety, dignity, and peace, and someone whose life had meaning and value. Her story matters. Her life matters. And her children matter profoundly to a community that now shares a collective responsibility to surround them with love, protection, and unwavering support.
As Hobbs grieves this devastating loss, prayers and heartfelt condolences are extended to Megan’s children, her family, and all who loved her. May they be wrapped in compassion, stability, and care in the difficult days ahead, and may Megan be remembered with grace, empathy, and enduring love.
Megan Obituary and funeral arrangements will be released by her family at a later date.
