As many of you know, Brad lost his younger brother, Matthew Bute in September of this year. To make this tragedy even more devastating, Matthew’s death was preceded by his mother Jennifer in 2010 and oldest brother, Nate in 2004, leaving Brad the last surviving member of the immediate Bute/Thumm family. Because Brad is the last surviving member of his immediate family, he has had to take off work these past couple of weeks to handle these arrangements himself while also juggling his own responsibilities and bills as well as taking care of his wife and two daughters. This GoFundMe has been created to assist Brad with both funeral related expenses as well as day-to-day bills that have been accumulating while he’s been off work planning the burial of his younger brother.

We know this is a hard time for everyone right now, but please considering donating if you can do so. This is a devastating ordeal to go through and Brad needs emotional support more than anything right now but having to be responsible for this process on his own is an added stress that we hope to alleviate for Brad, even if it’s only financially.
