Gary Blackwelder passed away at home April 16, 2023. He had recently undergone a stay in intensive care following a fall that fractured his ribs and knicked an artery.

His family is left with many doctor bills and also the expense of a funeral. His wife of 47 years, Dianne, is battling stage 4 cancer and has accumulated many medical bills herself. She does not have the ability to pay for all of these expenses. We know money is tight for everyone, but any donation amount would be greatly appreciated to assist with the financial burden on the family.
