UPDATE: I want to thank everyone that has donated to Brian's GoFundMe. We have come very close to our goal and I really appreciate your help. I have ordered a headstone and am working on putting together a memorial service at the Gravesite in Sierra Vista in early December.

I'm Melanie Thibedeau and am trying to raise money for my brother-in-law's burial. Brian Thibedeau was attacked in Tucson on July 12. He died from his injuries on July 22. Brian was a kind, gentle soul who was experiencing homelessness and had mental health issues.

Brian was cremated and we would like to bury him with his mother, who passed away in 2003, at Cochise Memory Gardens on Charleston. Even though there is already a plot, there are a lot of various other charges. Any amount not used for Brian's burial/service will be donated to SEABHS Sierra Vista.
