Stephen Brunners Funeral Expenses

On Tuesday my dad Stephen "big bear" Brunner stopped fighting his long term battle. While waiting for a transplant my dad became sicker and sicker just couldn't fight anymore. My dad was a very loved man and you can imagine that my family is extremely saddened by his loss. My dad spent his older years owning his own construction business and in his younger years as a Staff Sargent in the army where he made many friends. Not only was he our strength, our protector, but he was our world. He would bend over backwards to help anyone especially his family and friends. He had the best sense of humor and always loved to laugh. Over the past few days I have heard so many stories that I have never heard about him helping people and it's been really consoling. This world lost an amazing man on Tuesday. This is something my family and I were not expecting and have definitely had a rough couple of days. Clearly funeral cost are extremely expensive and we just want to be able to give my dad the proper funeral that he deserves. Usually this is something that my father would take care of so it has been a lot on my family and myself. I want to thank everyone who has been here helping us through and for all the wonderful support of so many people! All we are hoping to raise is just the cost of the funeral. We do not want anything more. My dad always told me that "being rich doesn't mean having money, being rich means having a loving family". He was our real live super man and now our guardian angel. Anything helps and everything is appreciated!
