Assist with funeral expenses

Donation protected
My name is Genevieve and I am the mother of Avery Joseph Desmoulin (Standing Strong Black Buffalo Boy). It’s with great pain and sadness that we have to call upon the community for this type of help. We are raising funds to assist us with unexpected funeral costs.

We were notified on Wednesday, August 16th that my son Avery Joseph lost his battle with addictions.

My son leaves behind 4 amazing children, Alaeyah, Marcus (Karen bun) Gage & Avianna.

Anyone who knew Avery knew his love. His heart was big and his stories were even bigger. He had such a gift of story telling, including animation and sounds effects. He loved to make people laugh but he found his heart at the drum. He was a traditional/woodland dancer and danced with so much passion. He cherished his powwow family, the many brothers/sisters/aunties/uncles he met along the way. He would help whenever he could.

Details of the traditional ceremonies and service we will be confirmed once his body has been released. A sacred fire will be lit here in Thunder Bay will be lit at that time.


We appreciate you all and love you all and want to say Miigwetch in advance.
