Honoring Jacob Dupre & Supporting His Children

Hi, my name is Megan, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart on behalf of my family. We are devastated by the sudden loss of my brother, Jacob Dupre—a loving father, son, brother, a friend, a U.S. Marine veteran, and one of the kindest, funniest souls you could ever meet.

Jacob passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind three incredible children: Addisyn (19), Bryce (16), and Elijah (15). He was a single father who dedicated his life to giving his kids a safe, joyful, and love-filled home.

Jacob had a heart as big as his laugh. He loved to cook and bake (and trust me—he could throw down in the kitchen), was always up for an adventure outdoors, and never missed a chance to make someone smile. He was a man of determination, a proud veteran, and a constant source fun and laughter for those around him.

Now, as we grieve this heartbreaking loss, we want to honor his memory and provide love and support for his children whom he loved more than anything.

We are raising these funds to help cover funeral and memorial expenses, and to support Addisyn, Bryce, and Elijah as they navigate life without their dad. These funds will go toward immediate needs—such as housing, school supplies, basic necessities—and help provide some stability during this painful transition.

If you’re able to give any amount will be greatly appreciated. Please know that your kindness is a lifeline for this family. Every donation helps us celebrate Jacob’s life and ensure his children are taken care of. If you’re unable to give right now, simply sharing this fundraiser can make all the difference.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for your love, generosity, and for helping us carry Jacob’s legacy forward.

With gratitude,

The Dupre, Gordon, DeRosa and Nared Families
