What happened to Steve Wallis’ wife, Jessica Audrey Wallis?

Steve Wallis, the Canadian YouTuber behind the channel “Camping with Steve,” shared devastating news in August 2022 that deeply affected his community: the sudden and unexpected passing of his wife, Jessica Audrey Wallis.

Jessica Audrey Wallis, born on September 10, 1981, in Chicago, Illinois, was a woman of remarkable talent and determination. Her quest for knowledge led her to the Kodály Institute of the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in Kecskemét, Hungary, where she studied pedagogical techniques. Her passion for music and education shone through in her role as a music teacher at Holy Spirit Catholic School in Alberta before meeting Steve.

Steve and Jessica‘s love story blossomed over several years of dating, culminating in their marriage in 2017. They shared five wonderful years, during which Jessica played an instrumental role in Steve‘s success. She provided the support and inspiration he needed to pursue his career full-time. As Steve noted, “The only reason there’s a Camping With Steve at all is because of Jess. If I had never met her, I would still be living in a motorhome trying to finish a documentary.”

Tragically, Jessica passed away in her sleep on August 20, 2022, at the age of 40. The cause of her death remains unknown, leaving Steve and his followers heartbroken and searching for answers. In a heartfelt video titled “Rest In Peace My Beautiful Wife,” Steve paid tribute to Jessica and encouraged his audience to donate to food banks and homeless shelters in her name.

Jessica‘s sudden and mysterious passing left a void in the lives of those who knew her and the millions who followed Steve‘s camping adventures. Her legacy lives on through the memories she shared with Steve and the countless lives she touched with her kindness, generosity, and support.

In the wake of Jessica‘s passing, Steve has continued to share his love for camping and the outdoors with his audience, often paying tribute to his late wife in his videos. Jessica Audrey Wallis‘s legacy endures, reminding us of life’s fragility and the importance of cherishing every moment with our loved ones.
