Dear Friends, family, and acquaintances; I am writing to let you know about the sudden death of our beloved Justin Smith.

We are completely devastated by Justin's unexpected passing at the young age of 35 and are struggling to gather enough funds to cover the cost of burial services. Unfortunately like most young adults, he did not have life insurance or savings. Based on the estimates given to us, the cost of his service will be $10,000.

We have started this fundraiser to collect donations for Justin's funeral services.

Justin leaves behind his beloved 15 year old daughter, Ana. Ana was Justin's only child and he was the only parent active in her life. Ana is experiencing an unimaginable amount of grief surrounding the death of her father. Losing him during the holiday season adds an extra layer of sadness.

We are also asking for you to help make this the best Christmas possible for her! Although no amount of donations can take away her pain, perhaps together we can distract for a moment.

We want to demonstrate to her that she is still loved, supported, and cared about by many.

Please consider donating if you are able to do so, we would be so very grateful during this difficult time.

With love and thankfulness, Justin's family.
