Description: On March 21, 2026, our family experienced an unimaginable loss when Brian, my daughter's boyfriend, unexpectedly and tragically got swept away in the Truckee River. Brian was a very well-mannered young man who was full of life. In the short period of time that he had come into my daughter’s life, he brightened her world. He was charismatic, ambitious, kind, and deeply loved by those who knew him. Brian wanted to better himself, not just for his own future, but for my daughter as well. He had goals he wanted to achieve, which were sadly cut short by this tragic event. This untimely tragedy has left us heartbroken and searching for ways to support each other through this difficult time.

We are raising funds to help Brian’s family cover any expenses and provide support as they navigate this tragedy. The costs of saying goodbye are overwhelming, and we want to ensure that Brian’s family can focus on healing without the added burden of financial stress. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference for those who loved him most.

Anything you can do—whether it’s donating, sharing this fundraiser, or simply spreading the word—will help Brian’s family during this incredibly hard moment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, compassion, and support.
