Our hearts are heavy as we share the sudden passing of our dear friend, Jon Jon. His loss has been deeply felt by everyone who knew him, and it has left the Gardella family navigating an unimaginable moment of grief and shock. In times like these, the strength of a community can bring comfort in ways words sometimes cannot. This fundraiser is a way for friends, family, neighbors, and all whose lives Jon Jon touched to come together and support the Gardella family as they face both the emotional and practical challenges ahead.

Funds raised will go directly to the Gardella family to help with immediate expenses and everyday needs during this difficult period. More than anything, this is an opportunity to surround them with care, ease some of the uncertainty they are facing, and remind them they are not alone.

Thank you for honoring Jon Jon’s memory through your kindness, your generosity, and your presence. Every gesture of support—big or small—means more than words can express.
