———-

Following the sudden loss of David Ochner Jr., our family has been deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and kindness shown by friends, family, coworkers, and the community. David was a devoted father to David III, Emily, and Julie, and his passing leaves an immeasurable void in their lives. During this incredibly difficult time, the support surrounding the children has brought comfort and reminded them how deeply their father was loved by so many people.

Many have reached out asking how they can help support the children as they navigate the days and months ahead. This GoFundMe was created for those who wished to do so. The funds raised will be directly given to and used to support David III, Emily, and Julie as they each navigate this loss, whether that means help with everyday needs, education, or other expenses that arise.

We are sincerely thankful for every prayer, message, meal, visit, and act of kindness already shown to our family. The compassion and generosity shared during this heartbreaking time have meant more than words can express. Please continue to keep the children and all who loved David in your thoughts as they move forward carrying his memory with them every day.
