Our hearts are heavy with the sudden loss of our dear friend Carl Sledgister. We’ve started this fundraiser to support his beloved wife, Lisa (Ladwig), and their daughter, Chloe, as they begin to navigate life without him. (Memorial service details are forthcoming.)

Carl lifted everyone around him. He showed up for people — always. His laugh was big and contagious; his kindness was endless.

While nothing can ease the heartbreak of losing Carl, we can help ease some of the financial strain his family now faces. Your generosity will help with immediate expenses like funeral and memorial service costs. Also, your donations will help fund Chloe’s college education — something Carl was so proud of.

Thank you for supporting Lisa and Chloe with your love, prayers, and kindness. Carl spent his life giving to others — with his time, his laughter, and his heart. Now, in honoring his memory, we have the chance to give back to the people he loved most.

Please consider sharing this GoFundMe with others who knew and loved Carl, so together we can surround Lisa and Chloe with the same care and generosity he gave so freely.
