My brother, Pete Marquardt, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Wednesday night. I’m raising money to help cover end of life expenses on his behalf and for my mother, who was dependent on him for her care. Additionally, funds will be used to help pay for travel expenses for his sister, Emily. His father, Pete Sr., requires a medical aid to travel and some of the funds will go toward supporting his transit.

This is our small family’s second major medical disaster in the last two months and every bit of help will be deeply appreciated by all of us the who loved Pete for the man he was and the people he knew we could be.

Gofundme requires a service date to be selected. Tentatively I’ve chosen Thursday, October 16. Please be aware this is subject to change depending on the timeline of arrangements that are still pending.
