It is with a heavy heart that we share the devastating news that Chris Groom passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, September 24th.

Chris was a beloved husband, father, brother, son, and friend. He adored Stephanie and their 8-year-old daughter, Elise. His loss has left a hole in our hearts that can never be filled.

This GoFundMe has been created to help ease some of that burden. Funds raised will go directly toward supporting Stephanie and Elise in the months ahead, helping with household expenses, childcare needs, and the many unforeseen costs that come with such a tragic and unexpected loss.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, will make a difference. If you are unable to give, please consider sharing this page and keeping Stephanie and Elise in your thoughts and prayers.
