Honoring Brian: Help Support His Sons' Future

Turner (17) and Mason (15) lost their dad, Brian Hoelzel, on June 4, 2025. He was only 50 years old. After years of struggling with alcoholism, Brian passed of liver disease. His boys were his pride and joy, and the years he spent with them, he has said, were the best of his life. Whether fishing, boating, building things, camping, or having other sorts of adventures, they made great memories together. He taught them practical skills and to be creative, raised them to be polite, encouraged them with their musical talents, and inspired them to use their imaginations. They will miss their father terribly, and it is a tragic loss.

Turner will be a senior in high school in the fall of 2025, and plans to go to a 4-year college. A sophomore, Mason will not be far behind him. As the cost of post-secondary education is significant, we are encouraging gifts that will go towards their future endeavors. This would be a special way to honor Brian as a father, and to provide support he is not longer able to provide.

We graciously thank you,
