Honoring Bjørn Follestad: Funeral & Family Support

Donation protected
After a tragic accident, my family is heartbroken by the sudden loss of my little brother, Bjørn. He was the best brother, son, and friend anyone could hope for, with the kindest soul and a completely selfless nature.
He was always looking out for others, prioritized the needs of his family, enthusiastically helped others in need, and never wanted to be a burden. He leaves behind the loving mother with whom he shared a home, four brothers, a sister, and several nieces and nephews who are stricken with grief, loss, and confusion.

Bjørn loved the Dallas Cowboys (even when they lost) almost as much as he loved his family and friends. After turning his life around, he offered encouragement to others striving to do the same.

His absence is felt deeply by everyone who knew him. Our family can shoulder the cost of his funeral, but would like to honor him with a memorial.

We are reaching out for support to help cover costs & create a memorial celebrating Bjørn’s life. If any who've grieved or erected memorials on behalf of someone else would like to share with us what you've done, please reach out.

For anyone who sees this and knew him, I would love it if you could share stories and spread the word so all those who loved him can be a part of his celebration of life.

Your kindness and support mean the world to us during this incredibly hard time. Any additional or remaining donations will be given to our mom, allowing her to take time off without financial strain as she grieves the loss of her son and navigates the sudden transition from living with him to living alone.

We thank you all, even for reading this story and thinking about my brother. He loved you all, even if you never knew him.
