Hello everyone, my name is Kristin Gaudet and I am the oldest daughter of Russ Clark. I have started this fundraiser in hopes of alleviating some of the financial burden of my father’s sudden passing. I appreciate you taking the time to read.

He was diagnosed with end stage kidney disease in November of 2023 and had been on dialysis since. We were hopeful he would be a candidate for a kidney transplant in the near future, and we were working hard towards this, but he unexpectedly passed away on June 12th. Now we are looking at several expenses we weren’t prepared for. The funds will not only go towards his cremation, but a memorial service celebrating his life as well. It will also assist in any other ongoing and unexpected costs following his sudden passing.

We kindly request your support in helping us cover these expenses during this difficult time. Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean the world to us and help us give my father the farewell he deserves. If you aren't able to contribute financially at this time, a share with your friends and family is so greatly appreciated. My family and I cannot thank you enough for your support. ❤️
