Hi, my name is Leanne, and I’m fundraising on behalf of my dear friend, Kimberly Gauthier.

Kim and I have been friends since junior high, sharing many milestones over the years—weddings, the births of our children, and countless memories in between. Today, I’m here to support her as she faces the unimaginable loss of her son.

I’m reaching out to our community to support Kim and her family through this tragic loss.

We are coming together to honor the life of Vincent Chadd, who tragically passed away on July 6, 2025, at just 19 years old. We are raising funds to help his mother, Kim, with the costs of his celebration of life and to allow her and her children the space to grieve without the added burden of financial stress.

Vincent was kind, funny, intelligent, strong and hardworking. He had a generous heart and was always the first to lend a hand when someone needed help. He made people feel seen, supported and loved. Whether he was making a witty joke, sharing a thoughtful observation or simply showing up for someone—Vincent left a lasting impact.

He was deeply loved by his mom Kimberly, his dad Dana Chadd (Sandra), and his siblings—Kassandra (28), Grace (21), Anna (16) and Daniel (13). He also leaves behind grandparents, many extended family members, and close lifelong friends who were like family to him.

Vincent’s passing is a loss no family should ever have to endure and our hearts are with Kimberly and her children as they begin to navigate life without him.

Your support will help cover the costs of Vincent’s celebration of life, including:

    •    Funeral home expenses

    •    A venue for the celebration of life

    •    Flowers, programs, and keepsakes for family and friends

• Travel expenses

    •    Access to grief and mental health support for the family

    •    Time away from work to grieve and begin healing

Every donation, no matter the size, helps ease the financial burden during this heartbreaking time and allows Kimberly to focus on what matters most—honoring her son’s memory and caring for her children.

Thank you for your compassion, generosity, and love during this incredibly difficult time.
