Sage Kuse Memorial Service Fund

Donation protected
Josh Kuse, Becki Kuse, George Kuse, Lorraine Carpino, and Cody McClymont are grieving the loss of their son, nephew and grandson, Sage Kuse.  Sage passed away suddenly this past Sunday. He was found in his apartment in Aspen, the victim of an apparent overdose.

This is especially painful as Sage had recently found sobriety and freedom after struggling with addiction for much of his life. He spent the last few months of his life in Colorado, snowboarding to his job on Snowmass and for the first time since he was a small child, he was truly happy.  Living life as a grand adventure, joyful and free.

Sage was a kind and generous soul that had a positive impact on many people, if you were his friend you knew he had your back. He will be missed by many but he is profoundly mourned by his immediate family and friends. Lorraine’s huge heart is shattered. This is their hour of need, and they need our emotional and financial support.  Bringing Sage home from Colorado, his cremation costs, memorial services, emergency family travel, and lost work opportunities are having a huge impact financially. 

We respectfully ask that you donate to help reimburse the family and offer them some financial peace of mind during this time of grief. Sage's sudden passing has upended their work lives and income. We estimate costs of $8,500 - $10,000.  If there are funds received beyond their needs, they will be donated to a local treatment and addiction facility in Del Ray, FL.  Lorraine Carpino will be in charge of final expenses.

Thank you for your kind consideration and generosity.
