Today the Loring Family had an unexpected and unimaginable loss, their sweet JJ passed away overnight. JJ was loved by many, he was a loving son and an amazing brother, he brought happiness and joy to everyone he who knew him!!!

JJ was diagnosed with Fragile X as an infant and the doctors didn’t think he’d survive his first two years of life, but JJ was strong and determined (and a little stubborn) and he proved those Drs wrong by living a full life in his short 28 years with his family.

JJ loved Fire Trucks, in fact he let his sister, Dawn, know that he wanted to live in a Fire House. He liked stealing her clothes to “transform into the Hulk” and loved using his tablet to watch YouTube. He had a silly side and liked to mock his mom and his sister and tell them they were “fired”, he found himself hilarious and would laugh at and copy his sister when she had the hiccups, this is the way his sister described him and these are the times they choose to remember with fondness. JJ loved his cartoons, Paw Patrol was his favorite!!! And like Dawn said, “he was just a lovable goofball”!!!

This tragic loss was completely unexpected and the family has no savings set aside to provide their beloved son and brother a proper wake, funeral and burial. Today I am reaching out to all I know, as well as the family and friends of the Loring Family, if you can help with a donation (no matter how big or how small) to show this family some love and support during this difficult time, it would be greatly appreciated!!! ALSO please share this GoFundMe so as a community we can help the Loring’s properly say goodbye to their sweet JJ.

Thank you in advance - Tasha Ryan
