As many of you know, both Patrick and Jamie lost their battles with their own mental health issues in March, just weeks apart.

Jamie leaves behind two children, Sierra and James. Sierra is also 7 months pregnant and due with a baby girl in June.

Patrick also leaves behind two children, Zander and Ella.

As a family, we have decided both Patrick and Jamie will be cremated and no formal funeral service will be held. Instead, we plan to hold a celebration of life to honor both of them at a later date.

Many of you have also asked how you can contribute financially, so we’ve created this as one option/way to give.

We plan to use all funds donated in the following manner:

1) Reimburse family members for cremation/final expenses already paid.

2) For any unexpected/immediate needs that arise in handling final expenses over the next few weeks for both Patrick and Jamie.

3) To hold a beautiful celebration of life service for both.

4) To purchase urns so all children have a portion of their parents remains, and any unexpected/immediate need of each child.

5) Any remaining funds will be donated to a mental/behavioral healthcare center of our choosing to help people in Patrick and Jamie’s situations.

If you wish to donate in a non-monetary way, we are also in need of new or gently used clothing/baby items for both Sierra and her unborn child. Tommy, Angel or I are happy to coordinate pick up. Sierra needs clothing items in size 18-20 or 2x. We are still getting clothing sizes for James.

Zander wears a large in mens shirts and 32x32 pants. He is in need of shorts and jeans.

Ella wears an adult small shirt, and size 4 pants. She is in need of shorts and shirts.

To say we are overwhelmed is an understatement… but we are also blessed by the outpouring of love and support we have received from so many of you. Please do not feel obligated to give, but if you are moved to do so, know that we are very appreciative of your thoughtfulness and generosity.

Sincerely,

Tommy, Angel, and Lisa
