College Expenses for Emma, Rachel & Kate Presley

My beloved brother Russ Presley passed away suddenly on Wednesday, December 2, 2020. While we are extremely saddened and heartbroken, we know we must go on. He would want us to do just that. He would want us to remember him with laughter more so than tears. And most importantly he would want us to make sure his cherished wife, Jennifer, and his adored daughters, Emma, Rachel and Kate were cared for like he would care for them. 

The best thing I can think of at this time is to help cover some of the expenses his girls will incur for college. Emma is currently at Western KY University, and Rachel is a Junior in High School and Kate is a Freshman. I know Russ was very much excited about their futures and was confident they would go on to be world-changers. We are all certain of this. 

It is with that in mind I've started this fund to help in any way we can to make their journey through college a bit smoother and lighter. 

Any monetary gift is appreciated no matter the size. It will make a difference.

*Below is a small blurb from his obituary regarding his never-ending involvement and devotion to his daughters.

"Although he enjoyed his career work, he most loved his time spent in a variety of coaching roles for his three beloved daughter’s basketball teams. Whether in middle school, high school, or AAU, Russ was a devoted father, “cheerleader” and coach for Emma, Rachel and Kate. If they had a game or practice, regardless of the distance or surrounding circumstances, he was present and fully engaged. He was committed and passionate about seeing his girls, their teammates, and their teams be the absolute best they could be. There was little else that gave Russ as much joy and pride as seeing his three daughters reach their fullest potential - regardless of whether it was on or off the court."
