My brother, Will, was one of the most special people to ever exist. He was goofy as heck, extremely smart, witty, hilarious, adventurous, loving, and giving (and a smart ass). To quote his wife Hope, he is "the one who always makes her laugh until she is weak. Behind the jokes and the playfulness, he is the heart of pure gold where her and Sophia safely reside." He was loved by everyone he met, always adding joy and providing warmth with his contagious smile, laugh and persona. He was, and always will be, a beloved brother, son, father, husband, friend, uncle, grandson, nephew, cousin (etc etc), and we will forever be missing him and celebrating his well-lived life.

Sadly, Will passed away unexpectedly while hiking in Zion National Park, leaving behind his loving wife and their magnificent 8-year-old daughter. The sudden loss has been devastating for the family, and they are now facing the emotional and financial challenges that come with such a tragedy. I am organizing this fundraiser to help Hope and Sophia with celebration of life expenses, daily living costs, and the support they need to navigate the difficult road ahead. The family is still coming to terms with the loss, and every day brings new challenges as they try to adjust to life without their beloved husband and father.

The funds raised will help cover the costs of a celebration of life, provide some stability for the family, and ensure that Hope and Sophia have the support they need during this difficult time. Your kindness and support during this time means more than words can express. Even the smallest contribution can make a difference and help my beautiful family find hope and comfort as they move forward. Thank you for considering a donation to help Hope and Sophia in their time of need.
