Blake McReynolds Funeral Fund

"The thing about Blake is that he loved everyone. Everyone. And he loved everyone sincerely and completely. And even though you knew that he had that love for everyone, you still felt special being on the receiving end of it. And when he hugged you you knew he really meant it. And when he asked how you were doing it was because he really wanted to know. And when he flashed you that big, beautiful smile you couldn't help but smile back no matter what else was going on." (SMK)

Our dear son, brother and friend Blake McReynolds passed away on August 19. To say he will be missed is an understatement. We hope you'll consider helping cover the costs to celebrate his vibrant life.

Donations will go directly to expenses for Blake's funeral and memorial party. Those wishing to send direct donations may do so to:

Aaron Fuller
2617 Victor Ave.
Lansing, MI 48911 
 
With gratitude.

Additional details...
This fundraising page was set up by Aaron Fuller, one of the sons of the family that were guardians of Blake through his teenage years. This fund was started after Blake passed away for the following purposes.
- Funeral home expenses
- Church funeral and luncheon expenses
- Professional live-streaming of the church funeral on YouTube
- Organizing a celebration of life party for 9/3/16 including professional photography, professional videography, a live band for 2 hours, tent, portable toilet, dance floor, chair and table rentals and some catered food (although there will also be potluck food)

Aaron intends to withdraw the money from this fundraising account and then distribute it by cash or check to all of the above payees. Any money that is left over will be either given back to donors who want some of their donations back or given to a charitable cause that Blake would have wanted. The question of what that cause may be will be discussed with donors after the party expenses are finalized and we know how much is left over. There will be a detailed spreadsheet of all transactions that will flow through a new, separate share in Aaron's bank account will be kept and shared with all donors after the party. Aaron will not keep any of the money that has been raised.
