Hello everyone, on December 22nd, 2022, my cousin, Ashton Laatz was killed. At just 18 years old we lost him, 3 days before Christmas, and far too soon. The same day he came home, proud that he got his first job on his own, and felt like he was turning over a new leaf. The last few years have been hard, a number of challenges have come up as a family, everyone was finally at a point, while not perfect, that we felt we were moving in a new direction. Losing someone so young was hard enough, but now we have to put together a funeral in the next few days in order to give Ashton a proper place to rest. If you have been in the place where you’ve lost a loved one, then you know there is no way to plan for a death, and there is no justice in the additional burden that is placed in order to lay someone to rest. We are asking for help in order to honor a life that was too short. The gratitude we feel towards kind condolences and all the help can’t properly be put into words.
