<div>It is with heavy hearts to announce the unexpected passing of Luke Blanchard, who was involved in a fatal car accident Monday March 24th. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Luke was a devoted and loving husband, father, son, brother, cousin, friend and many more. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Luke’s wife Michaela is one of our own 911 Dispatchers who has been there for many of you and or your family and loved ones, as they have experienced some of what they have described as their “worst day”. It just so happened that today she would take her very own “worst day” call, that would not only change her life but their son’s life forever. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Luke’s passing is an unimaginable thing to think of as a young mother or wife as many of you are or have been.  As his loved ones navigate through this difficult time, we are asking for financial support. If it is only a prayer, a share, or a few dollars. Anything will help Michaela and sweet Jax start navigating this life without their loving husband and father Luke. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The family thanks you all for your kindness, prayers and support during this difficult time.
