Unexpected Death of Loving Father & Husband

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Jolie Lawton and I am fundraising on behalf of my dear cousin, Karli Chrusz and family.

Early in the afternoon on December 7th 2023, Karli was met with tragedy that forever changes her whole life… her husband was having a heart attack.

Karli rushed to his side and called 911 only to find out there were no available ambulances, a code black. Karli desperately got her husband, Lonny, into her vehicle and rushed him to the hospital.

After a long two hour battle to save his life, Lonny passed away with his wife and oldest daughter by his side.

Lonny Poulin leaves behind countless friends and family but most importantly he leaves behind his pregnant wife, Karli, and his 5 children, Mercedes(21), Zachary(15), Avery(14), Bentley(12) and baby Amora(10m).

He will forever be loved for the mark he made on every person he met. He will forever be missed for the void and absence he leaves behind.

Lonny was the kind of man that made you feel seen and made you feel loved. His heart was made of gold and he shared his love openly and unapologetically. His personality and laughter would fill the room. Lonny was always quick to make a joke or smart remark that always made those around him laugh. In truth, he seemed indestructible.

Above all else, as Lonny would proudly state, his children are his greatest accomplishments and it is with great devastation that he leaves them behind.

We kindly ask for any donation of any size to help this beautiful family in their darkest hour. Lonny was the sole provider for the family and there is no insurance.

All donations will go directly to supporting Karli as her new role as single mother, and to supporting their children. Donations will also go towards funeral costs.

Thank you kindly from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time.
