Support Bobbi Jo in following Uncle Lloyd's Final Wishes

Hello, my name is Bobbi Jo Dunwald and I am trying to raise enough money to cover my uncle's final expenses as I am unable to cover his cremation & final bills.

I’ve been solely taking care of my uncle for the last 2 years almost exactly to the day. Here’s our backstory. My uncle Lloyd W. Huttinger Jr. suffered from a brain injury when he was younger, which made him disabled and unable to work. He was functional up until a few years ago when my aunt Betty contacted me & informed me that she had cancer & uncle needed me up here to take care of him as she stated I was family to him & he would desperately need that. I immediately dropped my entire life in Colorado & moved back home to Montana. Sadly, my darling auntie passed before I could get back home. I arrived a month after she passed.

Upon my arrival to Montana, it became abundantly clear my uncle needed help with activities of daily living. As the 2 years progressed, I watched my uncle lose his ability to make coffee (his favorite beverage), his desire to drink coffee, and his ability to functionally reason. Eventually, his dementia & his COPD started taking such a significant toll on him physically. His weight dropped to terrifying lows & his ability to breathe was extremely compromised, contributing to increased confusion within his dementia. Throughout the last 2 years, I was his sole caregiver & happy to do so.

Sadly, my beautiful bright blue-eyed uncle passed away related to fighting his battle of complications with dementia & COPD on August 7, 2025. He loved tinkering with motors/anything mechanical. He was most passionate about moving houses, of which he would tell great stories. He loved his family & friends with an honest passion that was unrivaled. He never met a soul he couldn’t get along with. He taught some of us to love with such a unique brand of passion, loving his soulmate Betty beyond boundaries set by man. Uncle Lloyd was such a phenomenal character; always telling jokes, joking around & poking fun at situations that needed a giggle instead of a frown. He was a genuinely good, honest soul that loved me beyond measure as I was taken away from my family at a young age & he followed my journey through the foster care system. He always made sure to reinforce the importance of family & sticking together always, continually making sure that I knew I was loved by my family no matter where I was or what I may have done wrong as a kid. He was the last of an amazing line of men in our family. We are deeply saddened to surrender him to the Lord but understand he now has all the riches of Heaven, including a restored mind & body. He’s flying high with angels looking over me & what few family members we have left.

I now find myself in the position of being responsible for his cremation as his assets were willed to me. Assets that I have been maintaining, repairing & caring for without assistance from any remaining family. I’m trying to avoid losing his final legacy, a plan we discussed over the last 2 years. To turn this into a ranch & rescue for horses, which was another of his life’s passions. Often joking he was leaving the land to Elvis (my horse) & I just happened to be attached haha.

I too am disabled & unable to work. I keep getting denied disability even though I suffer from an as if yet unidentified most likely genetic condition so rare they can’t clue in on it. I have nerve death in both legs, along with a whole host of other medical issues & conditions that go with it. When social security took half of my uncle's income, I had to start a cleaning business to support him & me. The cleaning business is a very hard, physically demanding line of business. I found that I had to hire other people to help with the stuff I can no longer do. Now I find myself in a position where finding help is nearly impossible & the debts are wracking up every day in regard to my uncle's “estate” and I am unable to do the work for the cleaning business.

So I find myself begging and praying for help, from family & friends and now from complete strangers on the internet. I’m praying for something good to come of all this. Please help me in ensuring that my uncle's legacy lives on. Any funds above and beyond the estate's expenses will be used to start construction on several 3-sided shelters to protect the horses we have already rescued from the horrible inclement winters we have here in Montana. Excess funds will also go towards the startup of Huttinger Ranch & Horse Rescue, ensuring that we are able to rescue as many neglected and discarded horses as possible!

Your donations are extremely welcomed. If you cannot donate money, perhaps you can find it in your heart to spread this message far & wide to reach as many people as possible to support this cause. I thank you with all of my heart for taking the time to read this & for your contributions/donations.

As of right now the basic cremation package is almost $3k alone. We are past due on the car payment by $600 & climbing. Property taxes are coming due to the tune of almost $3k. The amount to have him placed with his soul mate is yet to be determined. Your support would mean so much to our little family in honoring my uncles final wishes. Any donation amount is acceptable, $1, $5, $10, $20, ANYTHING is appreciated beyond measure. God bless you!
