On June 17th, 2026, our dear friend Brian Dan unexpectedly passed away in a tragic accident on his way to fulfill a church assignment. This tragedy has left his beloved wife EmaLee and their three beautiful children, Erek(18), BrinLee (16), Aaron (13) to face this unimaginable loss without a husband and father.

Brian was the soul breadwinner of the family and his death has left the family without any financial means to cover essential expenses, including the funeral costs and day-to-day living expenses. As a stay at home mom caring for special needs children, EmaLee now faces the heartbreaking challenge of not only mourning the loss of her loving husband but also ensuring the well-being and future of her children, including the long-term financial, physical, and emotional needs of their two special needs children and oldest son who is just starting college.

Outside of his family and career, Brian lived a life of generous service to his church congregation, as an addiction recovery group leader, and was in training to be a volunteer firefighter. As friends and family, we have the power to make a significant impact for the Dan family during this incredibly difficult time. By rallying together and offering our financial support, we can help alleviate the burden of financial worries and allow EmaLee to focus on healing and providing for her children.

The funds raised through this GoFundMe campaign will be used to cover the immediate expenses, such as funeral costs and ensuring the basic needs of the family are met. Additionally, any surplus funds will be set aside to support EmaLee and her children in the long term, including education, healthcare, and other essential resources they may require.

We kindly ask for your generosity and compassion in contributing to this campaign. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference to the Dan family. Your support will provide them with a glimmer of hope during this dark and challenging period.

Thank you for your kindness, empathy, and generosity.
