Celebration of Life – Mike Vinson

Mike Vinson 
March 12, 1991-June 10, 2019
 
We are devastated to share that Mike passed away on Monday, June 10. He was an amazing son, brother, friend and veteran, who served both military and civilian deployments to Afghanistan. He was loved by all. Mike’s death was sudden and unexpected. So many of our veterans carry such a tremendous weight from their service. PLEASE, we implore you to seek help if you are struggling!

In this time of grief, so many of us wish there was something we could do - something to take one ounce of pain from the family that is crushed by his loss. Please consider helping Mike's loved ones as they navigate this tragedy and move forward in life without him. Donations will go directly to his mother, Susan Cleland, to help cover expenses to bring Mike home and celebrate his life.

If you know Susan, you know that she is a self-employed stylist. Her heart is every bit as big as her skill (which says a lot about both) and she has shared both abundantly. No mother should have to bury her son. Seeing as that Susan is self-employed, she does not enjoy the luxury of paid time off that many of us do. Let’s help Susan not only to cover the logistical expenses of arrangements but also allow her to take the time that she needs to grieve.

Every donation is greatly appreciated!

Edited to note: Our initial goal has been met! Thank you to everyone who has lifted this family up. I know that your generosity has touched their hearts and that they feel blessed by your support. We will leave this open for now. Again, thank you so much for your outpouring of love!
