It's incredibly hard to put this into words. Our dear friend, Brandon Lapp, someone many of us grew up with and love since high school, is facing the unimaginable. He is dying of Stage 3 kidney failure due to his surgery and MAC infection. His time with us is heartbreakingly short, and right now the focus is on surrounding him with love, comfort and peace. He is truly one of the good ones; kind, genuine, and the type of person who would show up for anyone without hesitation. He has always carried a big heart and an even bigger impact on the people around him.

As his parents Pam and Mel Lapp, prepare for what lies ahead, they are also facing the overwhelming financial burden, a funeral and end of life expenses. This GoFundMe is meant to help ease that weight so they can focus on what matters most; being together, honoring his life, and saying goodbye with love and dignity.

Any donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward funeral expenses, and related costs. If you're unable to give, sharing this page or keeping his family in your thoughts and prayers means just as much.

Thank you for helping us honor Brandon and for supporting his loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. If you would like to share any photos, memories or comments please feel free to do so below.
