It is with heavy hearts that we share the tragic passing of RJ Zeder, a devoted husband, father, and dedicated public servant, after a brief but courageous battle with breast cancer. RJ and Danielle shared almost 27 years together, raising their two sons, Bobby and Jack. He served his country as a Captain in the Army and continued his commitment to public service through his work with the Village of Orland Park (Illinois), the City of Chandler, and most recently as the Transportation Director for the City of Mesa.
Just two weeks prior to RJ’s passing, Danielle received the devastating and unimaginable news that she, too, has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Now, in addition to bereavement, Danielle is facing her own battle, as well as the financial burden of future medical expenses.
Many have reached out asking how they can help, so this fundraiser has been created to support Danielle and her family during this difficult time. Donations will go directly toward her medical expenses, ensuring she receives the care she needs while she navigates both her treatment and the immense grief of losing RJ.
If you are able, any contribution—no matter the amount—will make a meaningful difference. And if you cannot donate, please consider sharing this campaign and keeping Danielle, Bobby, and Jack in your thoughts and prayers.
RJ was deeply loved by so many, and his loss leaves an immeasurable void. More than ever, the Zeder family needs the strength and support of their community. Thank you for standing with them during this tragically heartbreaking time.
