I’m Jessica Eddy, Jessie’s sister-in-law and proud aunt to Joel and Eli. Mark was part of our family for many years, and with Jessie’s blessing, my sister-in-law Lindsay (also their aunt and Jessie’s sister) and I have created this GoFundMe to help support Joel, Eli, and their family during this difficult time.

On October 13, Mark Atkinson tragically passed away in a farming accident, leaving behind two beautiful young sons, Joel and Eli who are just 8 And 5.

Mark was a devoted dad who shared his time equally with his boys. He was a hard worker; passionate about agriculture, and a dedicated volunteer. He is sudden passing has left a deep void in the lives of those who loved him most.

This fundraiser has been created to support Joel and Eli as they navigate life without their dad. All funds will go directly toward:

    •    Grief therapy and support to help the boys process their loss

    •    Living expenses and daily needs as they adjust to this unimaginable change

    •    Support for their mom, Jessie, who now faces the emotional and financial challenges of single parenting

Mark’s love for Joel and Eli was endless, and we know he would want nothing more than to see them cared for, supported, and surrounded by love.

If you are able, please consider donating or sharing this page to help this young family during their time of heartbreak, or leave a message of encouragement for their family. Every gesture of kindness makes a difference.

Thank you for keeping all of Mark's family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.
