Donation for Shannon Sparling funeral expenses

Hello all,

I am the sister-in-law of Luke and Shannon Sparling and the proud aunt of Mirielle and Kinzlee, their beautiful and sweet baby girls. Luke has agreed to allow us to reach out to our broad and caring community for help during his time of need.

On Friday, April 4, 2025, Shannon passed away unexpectedly. To say that her loss has been profound is an understatement. A man is left without his better half of more than 20 years, and two very sweet and innocent little girls are left without their mother.

The coming weeks will present challenges for Luke and the girls as they navigate the unthinkable process of grieving and burying their beloved wife and mother. We are hoping to lift some of this burden to help with funeral and home expenses, especially while Luke navigates time away from work and how he can best move forward as a working father and now, sole caregiver.
