Michael Witte died tragically on October 13, 2021. He was just 49 years old.

He left behind a beautiful wife, Tracie, and daughter, Gabrielle (Gabby).

A friend or loved one's death often leaves people wondering what they can do to help, and we have one very important suggestion.

This Fall Gabby started college at Juniata college. Almost instantly she found a sense of belonging in her new community. It was such a source of pride for Michael to be able to send his daughter to school there. 

While Tracie would never ask herself, what she needs more than anything is financial support to help ensure Gabby can continue at this school she has quickly come to love. 

In lieu of flowers, please consider contributing to this GoFundMe page to help defray the cost of Gabby's college tuition.  

Also, If you know someone who is struggling, you are not alone. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress, prevention and crisis resources for you or your loved ones.  The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline can be reached by calling 1-800-273-8255 or via website:   https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/. Together we can prevent suicide.

Thank you,
