Support for Shawn & Jodie’s Family after loss of their son

Donation protected
In Loving Memory of Deklan Troy Gillespie

My name is Ryan, and I am asking for financial support for my cousin Jodie and her family. Her handsome son Deklan passed away suddenly on December 15, 2025.

They already have a tight budget, especially with Christmas coming, and now the unexpected expenses that are needed to say goodbye to their 19-year-old son.

Deklan was a very caring, loving kid. He graduated from Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School in June 2025. He was enrolled as a fulltime student at Beaver County Community College to become a Pilot and had just registered for his spring classes.

His three siblings and parents will need money to cover funeral costs as well as living expenses, and they are left trying to process this very extreme loss.

Please help support Shawn & Jodie and family during this difficult time.
