GILBERT, Ariz. — The Biggs family is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Cosette Biggs, the daughter of U.S. Representative Andy Biggs, who passed away earlier this week following a courageous battle with cancer. She was surrounded by loved ones in her final days, according to a statement released by her family.
Representative Biggs, who serves Arizona’s 5th Congressional District, shared the devastating news with the public on Friday. In a heartfelt statement posted online, he wrote, “We are devastated by her passing but take comfort knowing she is at peace with the Lord. We are grateful our family could gather together to spend her final days by her side.”
The Biggs family expressed their deep gratitude for the overwhelming prayers, love, and support they have received from friends, constituents, and the wider community during this incredibly difficult time.
While much of Cosette’s life was kept private, those who knew her speak of a woman who was full of kindness, resilience, and deep faith. She faced her illness with extraordinary bravery, never losing her spirit even in the most challenging of times. Her strength and grace left an indelible mark on all who were fortunate enough to know her.
Representative Andy Biggs and his wife, Cindy, are parents to six children and grandparents to eleven grandchildren. Family has always been at the heart of their lives, and by all accounts, Cosette shared that same devotion to her loved ones. Friends describe her as someone who had an infectious smile, a compassionate heart, and a fierce love for her family and her faith.
In the face of this profound loss, the Biggs family is drawing strength from their Christian faith — a foundation that has long guided their lives. They believe that Cosette is now at peace, embraced in the eternal comfort of the Lord.
Community members across Arizona and the nation have extended their condolences to the Biggs family. Messages of sympathy and prayers have poured in from colleagues, supporters, and constituents, reflecting the widespread respect and affection for the congressman and his family.
At this time, the Biggs family has requested privacy as they grieve and remember Cosette’s life. No public memorial service details have been released yet.
In honoring her memory, the family encourages those who wish to offer support to consider acts of kindness in their own communities — something they believe Cosette would have wanted.
Cosette’s passing is a reminder of the fragility of life and the enduring bonds of faith, family, and love. Though her time on earth was cut short, her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
