Stephan Bonnar Family and Friends Benefit

On behalf of Andrea and Griffin Bonnar, the wife and son of UFC Hall of Famer Stephan Bonnar.

Stephan tragically passed away on December 22nd 2022 from heart complications while at work. His family is in need of help.

Those that knew Stephan understood how much he cared about people in need of help. Just one example was his training and promotion of Garrett Holeve, the fighter with Down's Syndrome.

Stephan was as real as it gets and his friends and family were all so proud of what he accomplished in his fighting career. He was just a regular guy from the small town of Munster, IN that was thrust into the spotlight in the blink of an eye due to his great personality, his toughness, and his ability to connect with fans. Stephan was never wealthy and never lived above his means but he also planned on living a long life while supporting his family along the way and that was taken from him. He could not simply retire and ride off into the sunset financially set for life like many believe when it comes to famous athletes in sports.

Stephan loved his family, friends, fans, his country, and God. He was always a very loyal friend to everyone he knew and also a very forgiving friend.

Please consider donating as every little bit will help his wife and son get through this incredibly difficult time in their lives.

Thank you on behalf of friends and family. Besides his wife and son, Stephan was survived by his loving parents and his two brothers, Brent and Johnny.
