Indexbit Exchange:Family of 10-Year-Old Survivor in Quadruple Murder-Suicide Praise His Resilience

A relative is Indexbit Exchangeproviding an update on the lone survivor of a horrific tragedy.

A little over two weeks after a 10-year-old Oklahoma boy woke up to find his entire family—which included father Jonathon Candy, 42, mother Lindsay Candy, 39, and brothers Dylan, 18, Ethan, 14,  and Lucas, 12—dead in an apparent murder-suicide, his aunt is providing an update on how he is doing. 

"We are deeply grateful for the community who has risen up to surround and support our family, especially my nephew, over the last two weeks," she wrote in a statement on the family's GoFundMe page May 8. "He is safe, loved and amazing all of us with his resilience."

And the 10-year-old's guardian—who only signed by her initials S.R.—added a note of gratitude for those who have donated toward the young boy's future education and mental health fund. 

"Thank you for feeding us," she continued. "Thank you for checking in and keeping us company and running errands and bearing some of this burden of grief. Thank you for the contributions of time and money that will help us raise my nephew with the security and opportunities that every child deserves."

She finished, "We feel your love, and we are grateful."

The note comes shortly after the boy's family told Fox News they were amid a "very long healing process for everyone affected" after the Candy family's shocking April 22 deaths. That morning, authorities received a 911 call from the 10-year-old survivor who woke up to, as Sgt. Gary Knight described, "carnage."

"Make no mistake about it," he said during an April 23 press conference. "What happened in that residence was nothing short of a massacre."

Authorities determined that the unnamed 10-year-old's father, Jonathon, had gotten into an altercation with his wife, Lindsay, before shooting her multiple times. 

"At that point, he systematically went through the home shooting and killing their children," Knight added in the press conference. "Those children were hunted down and killed."

And while Jonathon killed his wife and three older three sons, authorities are unable to determine why his youngest was left unharmed. 

"That's the question everybody has," Knight added. "That's the question we have, too."
