Jim Portese and Family

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted individuals,

It is with heavy hearts that we come to you today to ask for your support during this incredibly difficult time. Our beloved friend has passed away, leaving us all devastated by the loss. As we come to terms with this tragedy, we find ourselves in need of assistance to cover the funeral expenses and give Jim (Jimmy, Big Jim, Chops, Coach, Dad) the farewell he deserves.

Jim was larger than life and lit up every room he entered. He gave, selflessly, to so many. Especially the youth in his community. His kindness, warmth, and generosity touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him. We want to honor his memory by organizing a meaningful and respectful farewell.

Funeral expenses can be a significant burden on families, and Jim's passing was unexpected, making it even more challenging. We are reaching out to our community for support in raising funds to cover the costs associated with Jim's funeral, memorial service, and any other related expenses.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference and bring us one step closer to easing the financial strain on Jim's grieving family.
