Many in the Richmond community family know Heather and Brad Plybon. I'm very sad to inform the community that Brad died yesterday, leaving Heather and their 11-year-old daughter in shock.

I met the Plybon family seven years ago when I moved to Richmond from New York. Brad was my go-to man for helping in my house, caring for my lawn, fixing things in the house, and more. He had been laid off from his employment because of uncontrolled seizures. Despite his many difficulties, he was cheerful and kind. He was a lovely man.

His passing was unexpected and Heather will need help paying the mortgage, paying the utility bills, buying food, and most importantly, taking care of their daughter.

Please help in their time of need.
