Help Wayne Dearden's Family with Funeral & Home Ex

Donation protected
Wayne was a Navy (Vietnam) Veteran who survived war and throat cancer and never lost his will to live. 

Wayne wasnt wealthy in monetary terms, but was rich with family and friends. 

Now his family needs our help to pay for funeral expenses (as he tried but could not get life insurance) - as well as helping Sherry - the love of his life pay off the remainder of their mortgage - to ensure she and their daughter can stay in the home. 

Wayne & Sherry's long-time neighbor Dean, inspired this gofundme and since then many people have reached out asking for a means to help. 

Any amount is appreciated and whether you donate or not, please share. 

He served our country, never complained and now it's our turn to say Thank you! 

Thank you for your service and thank you for the loving home you helped to create. A home where all were welcomed. I love you Uncle Wayne, Auntie Sherry, Dave, Billy, Michelle, Drew, Gianna and Jax!!

Wayne & Sherry are the type of people who were first to welcome neighbors into their home after the neighbors experienced a house fire abd there are many other examples of them being there for others despite not having a whole lot themselves. The type of people who know it takes a village. Lets be their village now. 

David, Wayne's son, is a proud man who would break his back to do the right thing with the services. Sherry has always had a spirit of "we'll figure it out." I know this gofundme will help them tremendously. They didnt know I was making this until I posted it to fb, but I will make sure they get this! 

Again, thank you so much for any support & love you're able to give.
