It is with heavy hearts that we share the devastating loss of a beloved firefighter, husband, and father, Mike Mejia. He gave his life in service to others, and his sacrifice has left behind a family who meant everything to him: his wife, Marin, and their two beautiful daughters.

This family is now facing an unimaginable road ahead. Marin must navigate life without her husband and counterpart, while their daughters grieve the loss of their dad. Mike was their hero, protector, and biggest supporter.

There is nothing like the brotherhood of the fire family. When one of our own falls, we rally around their family, taking care of them in every way imaginable. This GoFundMe has been created to help ease the financial burden on Marin and the girls during this incredibly difficult time. The goal is to support them so that Marin can focus on healing, caring for the girls, and taking things one day at a time.

Funds raised will help with immediate and ongoing needs, including funeral and memorial expenses, household and living costs, counseling and support services, and future needs for the girls.

Whether you are able to give financially, share this page, or keep this family in your prayers, every act of support means more than words can express.

Thank you for standing with the Mejia family, and for honoring the life, service, and sacrifice of Mike - a true hero. Your love and support will carry this family through the days ahead.
