Supporting Terri and Evan After the Loss of Chris.

On February 27th, our lives were forever changed by the heartbreaking loss of Chris Berentson. A devoted husband, a loving father, and a proud veteran who served his country with honor, Chris was a man who was always willing to help out anyone in need, and now his family needs our help. 

While he fought many battles abroad, he was also fighting a silent, private battle at home. Despite the love and support surrounding him, that battle ended far too soon, leaving behind his wife, Terri, and their vibrant almost four-year-old son, Evan.

Why We Are Raising Funds

As Terri navigates this unimaginable grief, the reality of the future is setting in. Between the immediate costs of a memorial service and the long-term reality of raising a child on a single income, the financial burden is significant.

We want to ensure that Terri can focus on healing and supporting Evan without the immediate stress of:

    •    Final arrangements and memorial costs.

    •    Essential living expenses as they transition to a new chapter.

    •    A future fund for Evan’s education and well-being.

How You Can Help

If you are able to give, any amount—no matter how small—will go directly to Terri to provide stability for her and her son during this dark time. If you cannot donate, please consider:

    1 .  Sharing this page with your network and veteran communities.

    2.  Leaving a memory of Chris below for Evan to read when he is older.

    3.  Keeping the family in your thoughts as they navigate the long road ahead.

Chris gave so much of himself to his country, community, and his family. Now, it is our turn to surround his family with the same level of care and protection.

Thank you for your love and generosity.
