Sawyer Memorial Service

Donation protected
Today is the first service for Sawyer.  Thank you all for your love and support during this time.  Sawyer was an amazing human being.   He loved so much. He gave so much.  He was selfless and caring.  He will reamain in our hearts forever. 

Lance and Amanda and the entire family appreciate all the love and support.  It is important to get the message out that there is always help. You are not alone.  
Lance and Amanda Martin lost their oldest son to suicide.  Please pray for the entire family.  We hope by sharing our story it will help save at least 1 life.  There is someone who thinks the world of you.  

As more information comes to light we have discovered that Sawyer was bullied at school.  He was battling depression and was seeing a counselor.  He did not talk openly to his family so no one had any idea how bad it was.   Sawyer felt his only option was to take his own life.  This tragedy is just that a tragedy.  
We are sharing this information to bring awareness to light for others.  Please look for the signs and listen to your children.  This is such a preventable thing and children are so vulnerable to start with. 
Please share this story and listen to the children in your life.
We are sharing the national suicide prevention hotline information in hopes of saving even just 1 human.

Funeral expenses for our beloved Sawyer.  He lost his life on Jan 31.  So young and  tragic.  At 12 years old (almost 13) we lost him.  
Please help the family provide a funeral and memorial service for this wonderful young man.  Life lost too soon.
