Support for the Coady Family After Declan’s Loss

Donation protected
On March 1, 2026, the Coady family experienced an unimaginable loss. Their beloved son, Sgt. Declan J. Coady, lost his life while serving in Kuwait.

Declan was more than a soldier — he was a son, a family member, a friend, and a light in the lives of those who knew him. He served his country with honor, courage, and dedication, embodying the very best of what it means to wear the uniform.

No family is ever prepared for the sudden loss of a child. During this incredibly difficult time, we are asking for support to help ease the financial burden facing the Coady family. Funds raised will assist with funeral and memorial expenses, travel costs, and other unexpected expenses as they navigate this heartbreaking time.

Most importantly, this page is a place to show the Coady family that they are not alone. Any contribution, no matter the amount, is deeply appreciated. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page and keeping the family in your thoughts and prayers.

Let us come together to honor Declan’s life, his service, and his sacrifice — and to surround his family with love and support.
