In Loving Memory of Manuel Olmeda "Big Moose"

It is with the greatest sadness that we announce the sudden and tragic passing of Manuel Olmeda, better known as “Big Moose”. To know Moose is to love him. A giant heart, helping hand, fun loving, selfless and giving only begin to describe the nature of this dedicated husband, father, brother, and friend.

Moose was attending a wedding on December 30, 2023, with his wife Brittany and other friends and family when the unthinkable happened. He was rushed to the hospital after losing consciousness. Although all efforts were provided to revive him, Moose passed away from what was determined to be a heart attack. Moose was only 48 years old.

We are reaching out to you because Brittany and the kids need us right now during this incredibly difficult time. The funds raised through this campaign will go directly to Brittany and their three children, Arya 5 yrs. old, Allen 13 yrs. old, and Calianne 15 yrs. old to pay for funeral and burial expenses and to alleviate the immediate financial pressures as they cope with the emotional aftermath of this immense tragedy.

Moose was the rock of their family, and now Brittany is left to navigate this heartbreaking journey while also being a pillar of strength for their children. As a community, we have the power to ease their burden and show them they're not alone.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a tangible difference in the lives of this family. Your compassion can make an immeasurable difference in their lives.

Thank you very much for your generosity and kindness during this heartbreaking time.

We will provide timely updates and information on this page.
