In Memory of John Bethea: Support Needed

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the passing of our beloved John Bethea on Tuesday, September 16, 2025. We are completely heartbroken by this sudden and devastating loss.

John was the kindest, funniest, most caring person many of us knew. His intelligence and quick wit is something none of us will forget.

His sudden passing leaves a large hole in my heart. As many of you know, this was completely unexpected and I find myself completely unprepared to be without him emotionally and financially. I am facing ongoing expenses that have become difficult to manage on a single income. These funds will be used to help pay off a car we had purchased last October so that I can still go to work and last long enough to find a roommate to prevent losing our house.

Your support, in any form, means the world to me. If you are able to donate, I am incredibly grateful. If you are not in a position to give, please consider sharing this campaign with your network. Your thoughts, prayers, and words of support are also a great comfort as we grieve. Thank you for your compassion and generosity.
