Charlie Stoumbaugh, a popular pastor in Buena Vista, Colorado, has lost his newlywed wife to a tragic car accident near Cooper Mountain.
Miranda Schumann, 26, died Friday on the way to Yellowstone National Park. An SUV she was riding in flipped and rolled over several times.
The couple was only married eight months.
According to 9 News, this is not the first tragedy Stoumbaugh has faced. One of the families in Cornerstone Church, where he pastors, was killed in a rockslide in 2013.
Family friend Leslie Quilico, the family pastor at Cornerstone Church, told 9 News that Stoumbaugh loved his wife with all his heart—and he’s heartbroken.
Why do bad things happen to good people?
“We trust that God is good, but we mourn right now,” Quilico says. “That’s a question that we’ve all answered for people a thousand times, and I think the answer for us right now is we don’t know.”
