Support for Darken Jeske’s Funeral

Donation protected
On May 11, 2025, my family experienced an unimaginable loss when my younger brother, Darken Jeske, was killed in a hit and run. Darken was only 16 years old, and his sudden passing has left our family heartbroken and struggling to cope. He was truly the light of any room, always doing his best to make people laugh. He loved playing Call of Duty, going jogging, and working out—activities that brought him joy and connected him with friends and family.

My parents are now facing the overwhelming responsibility of arranging Darken’s funeral and burial. The costs for the service, burial, and headstone are significant, and the emotional toll has made this time even more difficult for us. We want to honor Darken’s memory in the best way possible, but the financial burden is more than our family can manage alone.

Any support will help my parents cover these expenses and allow us to focus on grieving and remembering Darken for the amazing person he was. We are deeply grateful for any help during this incredibly hard time. Thank you for keeping Darken and our family in your thoughts.
