In Loving Memory of Jasmine Katherine Brown Gone Too Soon, Forever in Our Hearts
MOWER COUNTY, MN — The Winona community is reeling from profound grief following the tragic death of 27-year-old Jasmine Katherine Brown, whose life came to a heartbreaking end in a devastating crash on Interstate 90 late Wednesday night.
Jasmine’s passing has sent shockwaves through friends, family, and community members who are struggling to comprehend the loss of such a young mother whose life, though marked by hardship, was defined by love and devotion to her children.
In the moments before the crash, Jasmine shared a deeply emotional message that now serves as both a cry for help and a window into her pain. Her final words read:
“I’m done surviving. Goodbye everyone. I’m sorry I couldn’t be a better mother. I’ll miss you Isabella, Izaya, and Lilyana. Someone needs to go to my apartment — 602 Mankato Avenue, Apt 202. My children are home alone playing Roblox.”
These haunting words have left many heartbroken, wishing they could have reached her in time, wishing someone could have shown her how much her life truly mattered.
Authorities confirmed that Jasmine’s vehicle veered off the road and crashed on Interstate 90, resulting in her tragic death at the scene. First responders were dispatched to her residence soon after her post was reported, ensuring the safety of her three young children. They were found unharmed but deeply confused and frightened, a stark reminder of the fragile line between love, despair, and the weight of human suffering.
Friends describe Jasmine as a woman with a radiant smile and a kind heart — someone who faced life’s storms with quiet courage. Those who knew her say she loved her children with all she had, even when she didn’t have much left to give herself. Her friends recall her laughter, her willingness to help others, and the way she spoke proudly of her kids — her “three little lights.”
This tragedy has ignited an outpouring of compassion across the community. Messages of sorrow and support have filled social media as people mourn the loss of a mother, daughter, and friend whose pain was often hidden behind strength.
Mental health advocates and community leaders have also used Jasmine’s story to remind others of the critical importance of reaching out — that no one should ever feel they have to face darkness alone.
Jasmine’s passing leaves an immeasurable void in the lives of her loved ones, especially her beloved children — Isabella, Izaya, and Lilyana — who now carry the memory of their mother’s love forever in their hearts.
A memorial and candlelight vigil are being planned in Winona to honor her life, celebrate her memory, and raise awareness about the importance of mental health support.
May Jasmine Katherine Brown be remembered not for the pain of her final moments, but for the beauty she brought into the world — her love as a mother, her laughter among friends, and the light she shared, even when her own grew dim.
Rest in peace, Jasmine. Your story will not be forgotten, and your children will forever know how deeply you loved them.
