Celebrating the Life of JD Adams
This GoFundMe campaign is dedicated to raising money for the final expenses of JD Adams, who passed away on September 24, 2016. I understand that many of JD's friends and family want to donate to the services. I'm also certain many of you are concerned for his children.
The funds raised from this campaign will be used to cover his final expenses and the remainder of the funds will be used for Sage and Gavin, his two young children he left behind. The amount entered for the campaign limit is arbitrary because any funds that can be raised will help. So, please help out any way possible in terms of making a donation to this great cause in honor of a incredible person and his family. I know many people say that someone was one of a kind....JD really was and for those who knew him and loved him can attest to that. He will not be forgotten and his life should be celebrated by those who loved him. I should know more about the arrangements later today as they are being planned and details will be announced soon. It's important for everyone to celebrate the JD they knew and loved. If he can possibly see that, I think it would help us all to know how much he was loved.
As for the goal that was setup with this campaign initially, that number was something I created as what I thought was a realistic goal (having never participated in a GoFundMe campaign). Obviously, my expectations were far exceeded. Lets keep this effort going as the funds raised for this will be used for JD, Sage, and Gavin. So, please continue to share the link to this effort and encourage others to contribute as the can to this campaign. Thanks Again.
