Funeral Expenses for Darryl "Brent" Gilland

There will be a lot of information contained in the description of this request that are difficult to hear but it is important in understanding the need for help. Please do not read if you are sensitive to fairly detailed descriptions of death.

 

On Friday, October 22, 2021, several lives were impacted by the passing of Darryl "Brent" Gilland. Midday, Brent requested his landlord assist with the heat being turned on in his newly rented house - he and his fiancé had only lived in the home less than a week. Upon arrival to the property, their was some sort of discussion that caused the landlord to snap and pull out a knife threatening both Brent and his fiancé. Samantha immediately ran to the neighbors house next door for help but by the time they returned Brent had lost his life due to multiple stab wounds. The neighbors were able to hold his killer at gun point until the cops arrived.

 

As you can imagine, we are all extremely devastated and in shock over the tragic loss of our loved one. Although Brent lived in Kansas City for several years, he grew up in Indiana. Knowing his relationship with his grandparents, we only feel it is right to get him home to be buried with his Grandma and Grandpa. As you can imagine, the cost of burying a loved one and transporting to a different state is a heavy burden - especially when this is so unexpected and tragic.

 

As a family, we have all agreed that any additional funds will be transferred directly to Samantha to assist in getting her on her feet. Samantha not only had to be witness this horrific crime but ultimately lost her home and partner. We are thankful for her quick response to help capture Brent's killer who is now behind bars.

 

Any and all help is very much appreciated. Thank you ahead of time!
