Rally for Brittany and Olivia in Eddie's Honor
Donation protected
Our dear friend Edward “Ed” Gaffney III—beloved husband, father, son, brother—unexpectedly passed away on July 18, 2025, after a brief illness. Eddie leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and kindness. Eddie was always there for those he loved; he was always a person you could count on to have your back. And now it’s our turn to have his back. His daughter, Olivia (2), and partner, Brittany need our support in this difficult time and on the road ahead.
We ask that you contribute to this fund to help Brittany and Olivia with any future needs that they may have.
Thank you in advance for your generosity, your memories, and your continued care for Eddie’s family. He was a beacon of warmth and strength, and together we can help ensure that light continues shining through Olivia and Brittany.
A little more on why we’re raising funds:
• To ensure a secure future for Olivia Jayne Gaffney (age two), Ed’s young daughter.
• To help with immediate needs, such as child care, living expenses, and medical or educational costs during this sudden and tragic transition.
• To provide long-term financial support, including funds for Olivia’s future education.
• To tribute Eddie’s spirit: continuing his legacy of community and care by rallying support around his daughter and partner.
Anything you are able to give will help tremendously. ❤️
