Joe Gurkey tragically and unexpectedly passed away at his home in Chelsea, MI on August 31, 2023. He leaves behind his best friend and wife, Alyssa, and three sweet children who were his whole world, Jack, Grace & Kate. Joe was a fierce protector of his family and will be so incredibly missed by his family, friends and community.

Joe's friends have created this fundraiser to help Alyssa with funeral expenses, to support her as she transitions to a new life, and to provide support for future educational opportunities for their kids. Every gift truly makes a difference for this wonderful family and will provide some comfort as they begin to move forward. Thank you for your support.

*In conjunction with this campaign, there will also be a spaghetti dinner fundraiser on Friday, September 22nd from 5-8pm at St. Mary's of Chelsea. Please feel free to make donations in support of the dinner via this gofundme.com campaign, or via Venmo.
