Help Honor Paul Brown with a Proper Burial
Update: We’re Over 80% of the Way to Giving Paul His Full and Beautiful Farewell... but there is only 4 more days of fundraising and we need a bit more to reach the goal.
Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,
It has now been several weeks since we lost our beloved Paul Brown — a beautiful soul whose love, creativity, music, and spirit touched so many lives. Paul was a cherished friend, brother, uncle, partner, colleague, creator, pianist, and dreamer whose warmth could fill any room. His laughter, joy, and light live on in everyone lucky enough to have known him.
Because of your incredible kindness, we have raised $15,163 — over 80% of the total goal of $18,828.08!
Your compassion has made it possible for Paul’s wish to be honored with a traditional casket burial surrounded by love - and we are so grateful! Thank you!
As some of the final costs have changed, we still need help covering the last expenses for his burial, funeral, and headstone — so everything can be completed as he wished and deserves.
Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to giving Paul the peaceful, dignified, and beautiful farewell that reflects the love he gave to others. The funeral and memorial are this coming Saturday November 8th, and we hope you will attend, and if you are able to give a little more to help fulfill Paul's wishes, we will certainly appreciate that too.
