Dear Friends and Family,

My name is Brandy, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to share the devastating news of my brother, Basil Barkas’s untimely passing on January 20th, following a tragic accident. At just 29 years old, Basil’s sudden departure has left an irreplaceable void in our lives, and in this moment of profound sorrow, I am turning to this compassionate community for support.

Basil was a beacon of love and generosity, whose presence was a source of joy and comfort to everyone around him. Known for his boundless kindness, he was always the first to offer help, be it financial or emotional, never allowing his own challenges to overshadow the needs of others. His love knew no bounds, especially when it came to his niece and nephew, whose lives he enriched with unwavering support and pride at every turn.

A soul of creativity, Basil’s passion for music and performance was infectious. He had an incredible ability to connect with people through his art, leaving lasting impressions that will forever echo in the hearts of those who had the privilege to witness his talent. His aspirations and dreams, however, were not limited to his artistic pursuits. Basil was eagerly preparing for the greatest role of his life – that of a loving father to his unborn son, Oliver, due this February 29th, 2024.

In the face of this tragedy, we are determined to honor Basil’s memory by ensuring his final farewell reflects the immense love we all have for him. This GoFundMe campaign seeks to cover the funeral expenses, with any additional funds raised going towards a trust for Oliver, to support his future and provide for his needs in a world without his father.

Ivon, Basil’s partner and the mother of Oliver, embodies strength and resilience, yet the loss of her life partner and the challenges of single parenthood are unimaginable burdens no one should bear alone.

In Basil’s spirit of generosity and support, we kindly ask for your contributions. No amount is too small, and every donation will directly assist in these immediate needs and Oliver’s upbringing.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Brandy (and Family)
