On September 1, Marty went in for foot surgery to repair ligaments.

After surgery, he had complications and was rushed to the ER. His oxygen was to low and he was intubated, his heart stopped and the amazing team at Mon General ER worked endlessly trying to save him. Where he ultimately loss his fight.

What should’ve been a routine, same day surgery turned into the worst day of our friends life. Marty and Erica have 3 kids, Erica owns her own small business and won’t be working for the next several weeks, while she mourns her families loss!

We understand times are hard for everyone right now. If you can donate, thank you! If can’t, please share this for us!

Please, keep the VanGilder family in your thoughts, as we are all truly devastated!
