It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden and unexpected passing of our dear family friend, Ellis Rains. Ellis left this world far too soon due to an unforeseen medical issue, leaving behind a grieving family and a son who now faces the unimaginable task of planning his father’s funeral and memorial without the financial means to do so.

Ellis did not have life insurance, and like many families who experience sudden loss, his son is left trying to navigate both the emotional devastation and the financial burden that comes with laying a loved one to rest.

We are reaching out to our community — friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers — to ask for help in easing this burden. Every donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward funeral and memorial expenses to give Ellis the respectful goodbye he deserves.

Ellis was a kind, generous, and humble man who touched the lives of many. He worked hard, loved deeply, and always showed up when others needed him. Now, we have the chance to show up for him and his family.

Please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser. Your support means the world during this incredibly difficult time.

With love and gratitude,

The Rogers’ family

On behalf of the Rains Family
