My brother, Jason, was found deceased in his apartment this week. We are broken-hearted and stunned by his early passing. While we knew that he had struggles with addiction in the past, we were not aware that his struggles had become too much for him to bear. His absence leaves a hole in all of us. He leaves behind his beautiful daughter, Jenna, his nieces, Adaleigh and Carmen, and a nephew, William, as well as all of us who loved him dearly.

He had a life insurance policy for Jenna, but we discovered that it lapsed in April this year. That leaves all of us in an unfortunate position of not only mourning his loss, but struggling to find the financial means to navigate the processes of burial of a loved one.

Anything that can be spared will be to help Jenna cover funeral expenses, as well as resolving the matters of his estate.

We appreciate any help you can provide, and if you have the time, any words of love and support for a young woman who lost her father, three children who lost their uncle, and the rest of his family who just want him back.
