On April 3, 2026, our beloved Dan’s battle with mental health came to a heartbreaking end when he died by suicide. Dan and Melissa were married for 18 years and had spent 27 years of their lives together. Dan leaves behind his son, Clayton (34), and his daughters Dalilah (17), and Lillian (14).

His sudden passing has left his family not only grieving an unimaginable loss but also facing significant financial challenges as he did not have a life insurance policy or any financial reserves. We are coming together to support his wife and daughters during this difficult time so that their focus can be on their own mental, emotional, and physical health.

The funds raised will go directly toward covering Dan’s funeral and memorial service costs, helping with the family’s mortgage and monthly bills, providing for basic needs such as groceries and household expenses. We also hope to support his daughter’s future education, whether that be college or trade school so that they have future opportunities.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference and help ease the heavy burden they are carrying. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser to help us reach others who may wish to support. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, generosity, and compassion during this time of sorrow.
