Chris Thurman, son of Nelson and Natalie Thurman, and brother of Alex Thurman passed away on January 8 unexpectedly.  Chris was a kind soul and his parents loved him very much. 

There will be a memorial service on January 19 that will be livestreamed.  There was a candlelight vigil by Chris's friends conducted on January 12. 

As you all know funeral expenses can be high and we are seeking to relieve his family of this burden, especially with the govt. shutdown that has affected the family while having to deal with the loss of their son.   I am specifically reaching out to the West Virginia alumni and NJ gang in the Endless Mts. to help our friend.  Lets try to chip in $200 per person.     Thank you all in advance for your consideration of this request.
