On Monday, our family experienced a devastating loss. My brother, a kind-hearted and hilarious soul, passed away unexpectedly. He was not only a loving brother, son, and friend — he was the proud father of 2 incredible girls (Ava & Olivia) who are now facing life without their dad.

He had a gift for making people laugh, lifting spirits on the darkest days. His love for his children was unmatched, and everything he did was to give them a better life. Dean lived and breathed his girls.

This fund is being set up to help ease the burden and provide stability for the kids during this incredibly difficult time. Anything you can give — no matter how small — will go directly to their care and future.

Thank you all for your love, support, and generosity. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this story to help us reach more people who might be able to lend a hand.

With love and gratitude,

Darren Wagner
