For Blake: Honoring Brenden's Legacy

We are heartbroken.

On July 28th, we lost Brenden Crowl, suddenly, unexpectedly, and far too soon. He was only 36 years old. There are no words that can fully capture the kind of person he was or the hole his passing has left in all of us.

Brenden was a brother, a cousin, a friend, an uncle. He was the guy you could count on. The one who showed up. Who made people laugh, gave great hugs, and had a way of making everyone feel seen.

But more than anything, he was a dad. That was the role he held closest to his heart. His son Blake was his world. Every choice he made, every sacrifice, every dream was for Blake. He was so proud to be his father.

Brenden was the kind of person who showed up, whether for a family gathering, a friend in need, or just a simple moment of connection. He had a light-hearted spirit, a caring heart, and a way of making everyone feel like they belonged.

Now, we want to show up for his family.

If you’re able to donate, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. If not, sharing this page, leaving a kind message, or holding Blake and our family in your thoughts are all equally meaningful ways to support.

The money raised will go directly toward:

• Helping Blake as he grows up, whether it’s school supplies, activities, or just making sure he has what he needs

• Setting up a college fund, so he has options and opportunities when the time comes.

If you’re able to give, thank you. If you can’t but still want to help, please consider sharing this link. Every bit of support, love, and kindness means more than we can put into words.
