<div>Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,
</div>
<div>It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the devastating news of Stephen Elliott Green's passing on June 9, 2025, at the age of 45. Stephen was the beloved husband of Stephanie Green and a devoted father to their two children, Addyson (16) and Austin (14). His loss has left an immeasurable void in their lives and in the hearts of all who knew him.
</div>
<div>Stephen was a dedicated family man who cherished every moment with his loved ones. He found joy in staying active through family events, water sports at Lake St. Louis, watching golfing, and other interactive activities. A true music lover, Stephen often found peace through his stereo, feeling the bass. He will be remembered for his quick wit, charm, and for always making others smile.
</div>
<div>For the past year, Stephen bravely battled psoriasis of the liver, with the last six months being particularly challenging. He fought with incredible strength and resilience for as long as he could. While his spirit remained strong, the extensive medical treatments and care accumulated significant financial burdens. Stephanie is now facing not only profound grief but also the overwhelming weight of medical debt and the immediate costs associated with funeral arrangements, while striving to maintain a stable home for their children.
</div>
<div>The medical expenses alone have reached an estimated $50,000-$60,000. On top of this, the funeral expenses are approximately $5,000. With Stephen's passing, Stephanie is also looking at an estimated $3,000 in monthly living expenses to keep a roof over their heads and provide for Addyson and Austin.
</div>
<div>We are establishing this GoFundMe campaign to rally around Stephanie and her children during this incredibly difficult time. Your generous contributions will directly help cover:
</div>
<div>Stephen's accumulated medical bills
</div>
<div>Funeral and memorial expenses
</div>
<div>Essential living costs to ensure Stephanie and the children can remain in their home and focus on healing without the immediate pressure of financial hardship.
</div>
<div>Our initial fundraising goal is $25,000, which will provide a crucial starting point to alleviate some of this immediate financial stress. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a profound difference and be deeply appreciated.
</div>
<div>Stephanie is incredibly grateful for any support you can offer and is comfortable with this campaign being shared widely across social media and email. She is also committed to providing updates on this page so you can see the impact of your generosity.
</div>
<div>Please consider sharing this campaign with your networks. Together, we can help ease the burden on the Green family and allow them the space to grieve and begin to rebuild their lives.
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support.
</div>
