FUNDRAISER CREATED FOR MORRISON FAMILY AFTER FATAL VEHICLE ACCIDENT - My Northern Wisconsin - 08-29-2025

Naomi (Lukes) Morrison, the K-12 art teacher at the Prentice School District, was waiting at the school for her husband, Bob, and their two sons, James and Luke, to arrive for a meet-and-greet with their new teachers.
James, who would be entering third grade, and Luke, who would be entering first grade, were only about ten miles away from their mom and the school at 9:43 a.m., traveling south on Hwy. 13. In that moment, what should have been a happy day turned into tragedy and Naomi and Luke's worst nightmare.
At the intersection of Little Chicago Road / Hwy. 111 and Hwy. 13, tragedy struck for this family. A farm's semi and the pick-up truck that the Morrison family was in, collided.
Sadly, Bob and James passed on at the scene. Luke was airlifted to the hospital. According to Harmoni Jesunas, a music teacher at the Prentice School District and friend of the family, "Luke is going to be okay. He has no major health concerns or major injuries." He was discharged from the hospital and is home.
Harmoni described Naomi as someone who "puts her whole heart into everything she does. You can see the joy that radiates from her when she talks about the love of her life, her husband, Bob, and their two elementary-aged sons, James and Luke."
Harmoni gave information about the Morrison family, sharing, "Naomi and Bob spent this last summer creating the beginning of a fully sustainable dream garden together, expanding their farm livestock, and spending as much time together as they could before the school year started. Bob’s favorite pastime was fishing, a hobby that he and his wife were both passionate about. They enjoyed competing together in ice fishing tournaments, and Bob could be found fishing year-round any chance he got. Their close-knit bond and love was apparent in every smile and laugh that was almost always on their faces.

"Bob had just finished his final licensing in HVAC the week before this happened. He and a close friend were excited to get their new business venture off the ground and running.
"Sweet little James spent the first few weeks of his life in the NICU as a baby. He grew into a charming, polite, and kind little boy. He shared in his parents love for the outdoors and spent many days exploring and playing outside alongside his little brother, Luke. He had a smile and personality that resembled his mama’s. Naomi loved getting to see her ray of sunshine boy every chance she could both at home and at school as his art teacher. Not everyone loves having their parent as a teacher, but James loved it."
Harmoni has created a GoFundMe page, to help Naomi and Luke navigate the great financial burden. Anyone wanting to donate directly to a bank, rather than online, can do so at Connexus Credit Union in Phillips by depositing the money into Naomi Morrison's account. Harmoni asks the community to "please consider donating whatever you can to help not only with funeral expenses to honor this father and son but also with basic needs. Financial hardship is something those of us who love Naomi are very concerned about."
