James "JD" Bartelme Memorial Fund

Donation protected
As many of you have heard, James "JD" Bartelme, passed away suddenly on November 4th. We're heartbroken over this news and the loss of a dear friend, brother, husband, son, and so much more.

When you think of JD, you think of a generous, kind person who continuously found ways to bring joy to the people around him. JD was funny, giving, sweet, and above all, compassionate. So many people have reached out to ask what they can do in this difficult time, which is a testament to the life he lived and the company he kept.

This campaign is established for funds to go directly to his wife, Melanie, to assist with costs related to his memorial and future expenses. Money should be the last thing she has to be concerned with in this time, and we ask that you please consider a donation towards that goal.


We've set a goal of $10,000, but we will adjust accordingly.
