Coburn Family Funeral Fund

Donation protected
Ben Coburn has been an intricate part of the McCook, NE scene for his whole life. He raised 4 active children here. He has been a business man, friend, supporter of pool leagues and other sports teams, and an ear to listen for most of the population of this town at some point in his 50+ years. He is such a family man, that Monday, April 30th was to be his last workday in McCook at TJ's. We had planned a "Going away" party for him as he planned to move to Lincoln to be closer to his beloved children, mother, and other family members. However, tragedy occurred instead. His youngest son was killed in a head-on collision that morning. Instead of celebrating the anticipated new chapter in his life, this day will forever be a day of mournful remembrance. 
Jon Coburn was a happy, go-lucky high school graduate who smiled endlessly and made everyone else smile at his jokes. He was a former member of the McCook High School football team. He made friends everywhere he went. He will be missed dearly.

We have created this account on behalf of the Coburn family to help them with the funeral expenses and make things a little easier. No one ever plans to save up for an expense like this.  We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  Any donations are welcome-- and please leave a remembrance for the family or post your pictures and tag the family on Facebook.  That way there will be HAPPY remembrances of Jon.
