In Honor of Sean Boyer

“Funny how we never fully realize the importance of small moments until they have become cherished memories.” - Titus Hoskins

The most cliche statement ever. We all know what it means. We’ve likely all said it in some form or fashion at some point. Yet, it hits so different when it becomes your reality.

Death instantly made every single one of our small moments turn to a memory... and we are shook to our core to know we will never again... receive a phone call/FaceTime/text, get the most random but well meaning advice, feel one of his hard hugs, have to ask him to stop sharing so many details with the kids of his and Matthew’s younger years because we were afraid they’d get wild ideas, listen to one of his hilarious stories (aka terrible jokes) or be able to share anymore amazing vacations /moments with him. We know this is felt by so many others as well. He was a knower of all random things, loved golf, loved to take his chance betting on the wildest of things,  and lived his life without fear of the future. He somehow gave the most incredible hugs exactly as they were needed and his smile and laughter were infectious! He believed he was invincible and promised us all he’d outlive every single one of just to say, “I won!” For as long as we have known him he has been by our side without fail no matter what we faced and he truly loved our kids as his own. When he married Adreona she instantly did the same. And before we knew it they gave us the most precious godson  imaginable and now we have 2.0 versions of Matt and Sean. These are our people, y’all! And we will forever spend the rest of our days hoping Boyer knew just how loved and cared for he was... not only by us, but everyone who was ever lucky enough to know him.

As Adreona, Nolan and loved ones prepare to lay Boyer to rest we’d like help try to ease some of the burden by way of financial support. The most immediate concern we have for Adreona and Nolan is funeral expenses as no life insurance is available and these costs will be expected upfront. The next is helping them adjust as they have now instantly moved to a one income home. In the coming weeks, on top of grieving, Adreona will have to find a way to pay for their mortgage, utilities, car payment, groceries and basic needs.

**** We have had so many people reach out with offers to help or wanting to know what they can do. This is it! This is where support is needed! ***

While funeral arrangements have not yet been finalized, we do know that Boyer will be flown from Tampa, Florida to Michigan for burial at some point in the coming week. Through this fundraiser we are hoping to help cover the cost of all things funeral related as they are quickly mounting. We also hope to raise enough money that Adreona and Nolan are covered to some extent financially while they wait to find out what benefits may or may not be available (this will be a lengthy process, she was given an estimated 4-5 month timeframe before any benefits would be possible due to the pending death certificate).

We are also hoping to collect as many letters about and photos/videos of Boyer as possible so we can create a memory book for them to look over as Nolan gets older. We are looking for all things Boyer. No limits on content. If you’d like to contribute please do so here (https://www.dropbox.com/request/ZILQh846PVrDAxcV77V8). You do not need to set up an account, simply click the link and upload. If there are any issues uploading please find me on Facebook and I’ll help you get your stuff over to us! We have also set up a meal train (https://mealtrain.com/30gng1) and plan to update it as we know further plans so they can be supported in both Michigan and Florida as they and their family go back and forth.  We have also set up an Amazon wish list to help with further/upcoming needs and expenses as they start to pop up (https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/BX36KRDTJ0F9?ref_=wl_share). We will add to this as we need to based on needs down the road for anyone looking to support at a later time. And because Boyer was a stay at home Dad, at some point down the road when Adreona settles back in at home she will also need support for Nolan as she returns to work and nursing school, both full time. We will post that info as soon as we know what that looks like for

Please know that your support will and does mean more than we can ever say! Boyer never failed to drop everything he had going on and always showed up without question for those he knew and loved, we pray we can honor him by doing the same in his family’s time of need.
