It is with incredibly heavy hearts that we are raising funds in memory of Nathan T. Runkle to help his family through an unimaginable time of grief and loss.

Nathan leaves behind not only family and friends who loved him deeply, but also five beloved dogs who were an important part of his life: Abbey, Bear (Ricky x Mocha), Kona Bean (George x Abbey), Mocha Jo, and Margo.

This fundraiser is being created to help ease the financial burden on Nathan’s parents so they can focus on grieving their son without having to carry the additional weight of unexpected expenses.

Funds raised will be used to help with:

• Funeral, memorial, and burial-related expenses

• The ongoing care and needs of Nathan’s five dogs, including food, veterinary care, medications, boarding, transportation, and other necessary expenses

• Other unexpected costs Nathan’s parents and family may face as they work through the difficult days and months ahead

Losing a child is a grief no parent should ever have to experience. During this incredibly painful time, we hope to surround Nathan’s parents with love and support and relieve as much of the financial burden as possible.

Every contribution, no matter the amount, will help. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with others would also mean so much to Nathan’s family.

All funds will be used to help cover Nathan’s final expenses, care for the dogs he loved, and assist his parents with expenses resulting from his passing.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, prayers, and support as Nathan’s family navigates this tremendous loss.

In loving memory of Nathan T. Runkle.
