Support for the Patzwald Family's Loss

It is with deep sorrow that I share the heartbreaking news of the sudden and tragic passing of 3-year-old Jack Patzwald, a beloved member of our neighborhood and community.

Jack was a joyful, curious, and deeply loved little boy whose presence brought light to everyone who knew him. His smile, laughter, and energy touched the hearts of so many in his short time here.

As a neighbor of the Patzwald family, I’ve seen the love and care they poured into Jack’s life. Now, they are navigating the unimaginable pain of losing their son.

During this incredibly difficult time, they are also facing the financial strain of needing to take time away from work to grieve, heal, and support one another.

This fundraiser has been created to help ease that burden. All donations will go directly to the Patzwald family to help cover lost income and allow them the space and time they need to begin processing this devastating loss.

If you’re able, please consider donating or sharing this page. Your support—whether through a contribution, kind message, or simply holding this family in your thoughts—means more than words can express.

With heartfelt thanks,

—A Neighbor of the Patzwald Family
