“A Sudden, Painful loss – Help Us Honor Mark Brown’s Life
Donation protected
On 6/29/25, my children's father, Mark Brown, died by ending his own life. His passing was sudden and heartbreaking, leaving us shocked, grieving, and overwhelmed by the weight of what comes next. I am writing this as the mother of his only biological son and the only dad my daughter ever knew.
Amid the heartbreak, they are facing the harsh reality of having to arrange for his final rest, manage his affairs, and without the financial support they expected to be there.
In the time before his passing, he was emotionally vulnerable, this we know. He clearly expressed his wishes for his son, however AFTER his passing someone went into his room and stole everything that belonged to Marks son! Someone who promised Mark they would make sure his son was taken care of. Now all that his son is left with is funeral costs, transportation, airfare, and all the remaining responsibilities.
I am reaching out to ask for help for them during this incredibly difficult time. Any funds raised will go directly toward:
- Cremation and memorial services
- Travel and time off work
- Legal matters
- Counseling
If you can donate, we are deeply grateful. If not, we understand and ask that you consider sharing this page with others.
With heartfelt thanks,
