Support for Dana Balesdent's family

On Tuesday, January 9th, Dana Balesdent Jr. passed away unexpectedly after a tragic sudden illness. What began as an ear infection escalated quickly when bacteria entered Dana’s skull, the Doctors believe through a perforated ear drum. The aggressive bacteria caused catastrophic brain damage that Dana was unable to recover from. Within 18 hours this all progressed and Dana had passed.

Dana was an incredible husband, father, son, brother and friend. He was such a devoted husband to Melissa and proud father of their three children, Isla, Nash and Coen. His family was the absolute most important thing to him, and they will all cherish the memories they created together.

Anyone fortunate enough to know Dana, knows the incredible void he is leaving behind for his loved ones. He had the kindest heart and an unwavering loyalty to his family and friends. He will be missed by so many.

To support Melissa and the children during this challenging time, we have created this GoFundMe campaign to assist with various expenses while they focus on grieving and healing.
