It is with heavy hearts that I share the sudden and unexpected passing of my brother-in-law, Mike, this Christmas Eve. He was a devoted spouse and loving father, and his loss has left my sister Lindsay and their children—Hailey, Dylan, and Jacob—completely heartbroken. Mike was no stranger to medical challenges and had fought through more than his fair share over the past several years. From enduring multiple strokes to finally being able to return to work just six months ago, he showed incredible strength and determination. Losing him so suddenly makes this even harder to understand and accept.

His passing has left an irreplaceable void in their lives and an overwhelming financial burden for Lindsay, who is now facing funeral and memorial expenses on her own while trying to process this unimaginable loss. If you know Lindsay, you know she would give anyone the shirt off her back and would never ask for help herself. This fundraiser was created to help ease the financial stress of funeral costs so Lindsay and the kids can focus on grieving, healing, and honoring Mike’s life.

Any donation, no matter the amount, would mean more than words can express. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser or keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support during this incredibly difficult time. With gratitude!

We want to thank you all for your kind words and generosity.
