With a heavy heart, we share the news of the passing of our dad, Damian Hartzell, on October 31st, 2025, at the age of 53. Our dad was a friend to everyone he met. He was kind, loving, his laughter was infectious, and his generosity was never-ending. Our dad was always unapologetically himself, and we love him deeply for all that he was. A passionate father who was proud of all of his children, he worked very hard to be the man he was! He inspired many to better themselves.

While we are heartbroken by his unexpected passing, we want to honor him and give him a celebration of life to share stories, laughter, and raise a toast to a truly remarkable man. This will be an opportunity for everyone whose life he touched to gather and remember the incredible legacy he leaves behind.

We are asking for a small gesture of support to make his final send-off as meaningful and stress-free as possible. Anything raised will go to the cost associated with his Celebration of Life and towards the costs of traveling to and from our younger brother Mason in this hard time.

Thank you for your support. We know times are tough, and we truly understand if you can only offer a kind word or share this fundraiser with your networks. Your thoughts, memories, and support mean the world to us as we navigate this challenging time.

Date and location will be announced in the near future

If you have any photos or special memories of our father, we would love for you to share them with us.

With our deepest gratitude,

Jayde, Damian, Mason Hartzell
