<div>Help Bring Michael “Mike” Grimes Home
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is with broken hearts that we share the sudden loss of  Michael “Mike” Grimes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Michael unexpectedly passed away in an airplane accident in Alaska Thursday, June 18, leaving behind his devoted wife, Amber of nearly 30 years &amp; his beloved daughters, Riley and Ryann, and countless family members and friends who loved him deeply.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>June 21st being Father’s Day and June 22nd would have marked Michael and his Amber’s 30th wedding anniversary, making this loss even more heartbreaking for their family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As they navigate unimaginable grief, they are also facing the overwhelming financial burden of bringing Mike home from Alaska to the Bay Area in California.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The costs associated with transportation, cremation, travel arrangements, and memorial expenses have become significant during an already devastating time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are asking for help to ease some of these immediate burdens so the family can focus on grieving and supporting one another.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donations will help with:
</div>
<div>• Cremation and transportation expenses to bring Mike home from Alaska to California
</div>
<div>• memorial-related costs
</div>
<div>• Travel expenses for family members
</div>
<div>• Meals, groceries, and daily necessities during this difficult time
</div>
<div>• Gift cards, Instacart, DoorDash, and other practical support for the family as they navigate the weeks ahead
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Michael was a loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend. His loss leaves an enormous hole in the hearts of everyone who knew him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div>As Mike’s sister, I never imagined I would be writing these words. Thank you for surrounding our family with love, compassion, and support during this incredibly difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With much gratitude,
</div>
<div>Christina
