Standing by the Nolte Family

A message from the family;

On Wednesday, our lives were changed forever. Our dad, the heart of our family, was taken from us in a tragic and unexpected accident. He didn’t ask for much in life — he just showed up every day with love, strength, and quiet dedication. He worked harder than anyone we’ve ever known — long days at his job, longer nights helping others without ever expecting anything in return. He was out steady. Our safe place. Our provider. Our protector.

Now he’s gone.

Our mom is absolutely heartbroken. They built a life together — through hardships, love, and countless sacrifices; one of those being a one income household. The weight of this loss — emotionally, mentally, and financially — is more than one person should ever have to bear alone. She’s doing everything she can just to survive the days right now. We don’t expect her to be strong. We just want her to know she’s not alone.

We’re asking for help so she can breathe without the added burden of funeral costs, getting their kids home, immediate living expenses, and the sudden loss of income.

Every little bit will help ease some of the weight she’s carrying, and give her the space to grieve, rest, and begin the long road of healing.

Thank you for loving her, for loving us, and for honoring the life of the man who gave so much — and asked for nothing.

With love,

on behalf of the Nolte family.
