For Zoey in Memory of her father, Gary Michael Waller

Dear Friends, Family, and Kindhearted Strangers,

It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden and devastating loss of my brother, Gary Michael Waller, who passed away on the weekend of November 29th. He was a loving father, son, brother, and friend who left an indelible mark on everyone who knew him.

The person most profoundly impacted by this loss is his beloved daughter, Zoey. At just 9, she has lost someone so dear far too soon. Her mother, Elaina, is now left to navigate this challenging time, working hard to ensure Zoey’s needs are met emotionally, physically, and financially.

In honor of my brother’s memory and his unwavering love for Zoey, we are starting this GoFundMe to create a safety net for her and her mother. The funds raised will go toward:

• Everyday Expenses: Helping Elaina provide for Zoey’s daily needs until she graduates.

• Ensuring Zoey has the resources to pursue her dreams and aspirations as she grows.

• Emotional Support: Covering therapy or counseling to help Zoey process this immense loss.

Our goal is to support Zoey and her mother through this incredibly difficult time and ensure Zoey has what she needs until she turns 18 and beyond.

We know times are tough for everyone, but any contribution—big or small—means the world to us. If you’re unable to give, sharing this fundraiser would also be a tremendous help. Together, we can honor my brother’s memory by showing Zoey that she is surrounded by love and support.

Thank you for keeping Zoey, Elaina, his mother Mary, and our family in your thoughts and prayers. Your kindness and generosity are deeply appreciated.

With gratitude,

Michelle Breslin
