Dave Clark “Dadbod Dave”

Our names are Sandi & Jared Vanderberg and Angie Smith. We are very close friends of Lisa and Dave. Dave unexpectedly passed away in his sleep on March 13, 2023, his 46th Birthday, while finishing a celebration fishing trip with his best friend Jared, Aka “Goober”. Dave was so very loved by all and a real force of nature, spreading love and happiness everywhere he went. His person and love of his life, Lisa, has been left with a big whole in her heart and her life. His 3 children Braeden, Katie, and Avrie are left without a dad and a friend. They were his greatest joys and he was so very proud of them. It is because of this void in their lives that we are trying to help raise some money for them for future needs they will have. Lisa is not approved to take a paid leave since she was just off for breast cancer, and she could not use FMLA because there hasn’t been enough time in between going back to work after being off for that and now. She had to use her GMGER benefit, which is still not paid. We would like to raise the money so she can take off, not worry about bills, and take her daughter back to college in Colorado without the financial burden. We would also like to surprise them by raising enough to get each of the children something special to be a reminder of their dad such as a quilt made from his shirts, go on a family vacation all together, and pay some of the bills that may come in after this tragedy.

Please consider donating for this very special family. Any little bit will help. They are hurting deeply and we so want them to feel the love and ease some worries and uncertainties they face in the coming days. They thankfully have such a wonderful community of friends and family that are surrounding them with love at this time.
