Support for Joanna After Myles McClellan’s Passing

Donation protected
My youngest sister Joanna has always been the brave, honest, and fun-loving heart of our family. She and her husband, Myles McClellan, shared a beautiful life together, filled with adventure and travel. They were truly a perfect match, always supporting each other and making the most of every moment. Their love and joy touched everyone who knew them.

Recently, Joanna’s world was turned upside down when Myles passed away unexpectedly on July 16, 2025 at the young age of 41, while they were vacationing in Peru. She is now facing the overwhelming task of bringing Myles back to the United States, while navigating her grief and the many challenges that come with such a tragedy. Joanna is not alone—our family, her in-laws, and many friends are doing everything we can to support her, but the costs of travel and funeral arrangements are significant.

We are reaching out to help Joanna during this incredibly difficult time. Any support will go directly toward covering the expenses of bringing Myles home and giving him the farewell he deserves. Your kindness will help Joanna and our family find some comfort and relief as we honor his memory and support her through this journey.

UPDATE: We would like to thank Universal for its generous support in ensuring that Myles makes his way home. We are overwhelmed with the support that has been shown to Joanna during this difficult time. The generous contributions that have been received will go towards helping Joanna cover expenses incurred in dealing with this tragedy and to support her going foward.
