Our family recently experienced an unimaginable loss. Brogan, a bright light in our lives, passed away unexpectedly in Hawaii. He was someone who could make anyone smile, who spoke truth with courage, and who cared deeply for people, animals, and the world around him. He left us far too soon, and the void he leaves behind is felt by everyone who knew him.

His mother, Aunt Netts, is traveling to Hawaii to have him cremated and to bring his remains, his belongings, and his beloved dogs home to Oregon. Beyond the immense grief, this sudden loss has created unexpected expenses, and we want to ensure she has the support she needs to grieve, heal, and honor Brogan’s memory.

Your donation will help provide:

• Covering any debts Brogan may have left behind

• Memorial expenses

• Supporting his mother and family while she takes time away from work to grieve

• Setting up her off-grid home with electricity, water, and comfort

• Food and basic living expenses during this time

• Therapy, grief support, and retreats to help her navigate this unimaginable loss

• Other essential costs associated with honoring Brogan and supporting his family

We believe that mental health, connection, and community matter more than ever during times like this. By donating, or even by sharing this fundraiser, you are not only helping cover the tangible costs but also showing up in a meaningful way for a grieving family. Every act of support, no matter the size, sends a message that Brogan’s life mattered, that grief can be shared, and that we all need each other in times of profound loss.

Thank you to those who choose to donate. Your generosity will help lighten the burden on Aunt Netts and keep Brogan’s memory alive. For those who are unable to donate, we ask that you please share this page. Help us spread awareness of the importance of mental health, grief support, and the ways we can show up for each other in times of need.

Brogan touched so many hearts in his too-short life. Together, we can honor him, support his mother, and ensure his spirit continues to inspire love, connection, and care.
