Collin Kartchner Memorial Fund

Donation protected
If you know Collin, you know about his larger than life heart. He spent every day of his 40 years on this earth giving to those around him. Caring for strangers, quietly serving.  Giving the shirt off his back and the Jordans off his feet.  You likely heard his moving message to #savethekids and #savetheparents, encouraging us to put our phones down and go live a beautiful life.
He shared this message 500 times a year all over the country.

On October 20, 2020 he suddenly passed away surrounded by his family. We are shattered, and he leaves behind his beautiful wife Elizabeth, their four amazing kids: Avery, Quincey, Lola and Myles (and their dogs Tuque and Winston Bishop, too). They were his world and he was theirs. The hole he left in our family will never be filled, and we know he touched hundreds of thousands of you, too. 

Collin had big dreams for this world, and his family, and we have been inundated with love and support, wondering what can be done to help. We've created this fundraiser to help ensure that his family can continue living a beautiful life. That although he might not be here to take them fishing, or to the beach, or sing them songs to help them fall asleep at night, we will be the hands to lift them up. We know we and his community will give back, since he gave us all so much. 

Collin encouraged Liz to go back to school to get her Master's, and without a life insurance policy and their champion Collin, they are facing a lot of unknowns. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, for any contributions. We ask for privacy for the family in this trying time.

If you'd prefer to Venmo you can send directly to his wife @Elizabeth-Kartchner. 
Cards and condolences can be sent to PO Box 921 Pleasant Grove, UT 84062
A celebration of his life is TBA.
