Our hearts are broken as we share that our dear friend Bart West has passed away. He was someone who brought light, laughter, and love to everyone who knew him. It's hard to put into words how deeply he'll be missed by his family, his friends, and especially his children, who were the center of his world.

I've started this GoFundMe to help his family—particularly his children—cover funeral costs, hospital bills, and to provide support for his kids as they navigate life without their dad. No one should have to face the stress of financial burdens on top of unimaginable grief, and this is one small way we can come together to ease that load. Bart was the type of person who showed up whenever you needed him, always with a helping hand. Now it's our turn to show up for him and his family.

Any donation, no matter the amount, will make a difference. If you can't give, please just keep them in your prayers and share this page. Thank you for your kindness, love, and support as we honor Bart's memory and stand beside his family through this most difficult time.
