My brother woke this morning to get ready for work to see his wife, Darcie, had passed away in the night. They have been married for 25 years and have a beautiful daughter, Nicole.

This was completely unexpected as Darcie is only 46 years old. He and our family are completely devastated and shocked.

Darcie loved being with her family and had a huge love for the outdoors. Fishing, clamming, and snowmobiling were some of her loves. She and Heath spent a lot of time at their close friend's house in Long Beach, Washington, taking in the beauty of the coast. Darcie loved her husband and daughter fiercely, and they felt that every day. Her passing has hit them, well, there are no words.

In this unexpected time of loss, Heath will be faced with funeral expenses as well as all the things that this will entail.

If you can donate, anything will help and will be so very appreciated.
