In Loving Memory of Derek: Support for Isabel & Jibbli

Donation protected
On July 31st, Isabel's beloved Derek passed away suddenly, leaving a hole in the hearts of everyone who knew him. He was a pillar of the Arcata community, and his warmth and kindness and endless capacity for love touched so many. Nowhere was that love more fiercely felt than in his relationship with his partner, Isabel, and their sweet dog, Jibbli.

Derek and Isabel shared a beautiful life together filled with friendship, outdoor adventures, and endless rounds of disc golf. Jibbli was their shadow, always in the mix, and their little family brought joy to everyone around them. The sudden loss of Derek has left Isabel not only grieving but also facing a future filled with emotional and financial hurdles.

We are raising funds to support Isabel as she navigates the difficult road ahead - covering immediate expenses, time off work, and the unforeseen costs that come with such a profound loss. These funds will help give her some breathing room to grieve, to care for herself and Jibbli, and to begin to rebuild in Derek’s memory.

If you knew Derek, you know how deeply he loved. And if you knew Isabel, you know how much she meant to him. Contributing to this fund is one small way we can reflect that love back and wrap Isabel and Jibbli in the support they need during this heartbreaking time.

Thank you so much for your generosity, your love, and your care.

With gratitude,
Kayla & Charlotte
