On July 9, 2025, Brandon Schmidt, a retired Marine Special Operator, Scout Sniper, Purple Heart recipient, husband, and father, passed away in a mid-air skydiving collision while instructing an advanced skydiving course. His loss has left a profound and lasting impact on everyone who knew him.

In the weeks that followed, the outpouring of support helped Nicole and Jordan through their darkest moments. As time has passed, the ongoing financial and practical challenges for the family have become clearer, and they need continued support to move forward.

We are raising $30,000 to help the Schmidt family address these needs and rebuild their lives. If Brandon touched your life, or if you want to stand behind a family who has given so much, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser.

Thank you for supporting the Schmidt family and honoring Brandon’s life through your generosity.
