It is with incredibly heavy hearts that we share the sudden and devastating loss of Brad and Karen’s beloved 6-year-old daughter, Elena on December 11th 2025. Elena was a joyful, kind, and loving little girl whose bright smile and gentle spirit brought happiness to everyone around her. She was deeply loved, and her loss has left a hole in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who knew her.

Brad and Karen are now facing the unimaginable pain of saying goodbye to their daughter while also navigating the unexpected financial burdens that come with such a tragedy. This fundraiser has been created to help ease some of that weight — covering funeral and memorial expenses, allowing time away from work, and supporting the family as they grieve and begin to heal.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will mean more than words can express. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page and keeping Brad, Karen, and their family in your thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you for coming together to support this family and for honoring Elena’s memory with your kindness and compassion.
