It is with deep sadness to share the heartbreaking news of the sudden passing of Brandon Earl Maples- better known as Madi’s daddy and her children’s “Pop” on August 6, 2025.

Sadly, Brandon did not have any life insurance or savings set aside for final expenses, and the full responsibility has fallen on his only daughter, Madi who is doing her best to manage everything while grieving.

The cost of a simple cremation is more than she can afford on her own right now. We’re asking for help from our friends, family, and community to raise $1500 to cover the cremation and basic memorial costs so that Madi can give her daddy the dignity and peace he deserves.

Any amount helps — no donation is too small — and if you’re not able to give, sharing this fundraiser would mean the world to us.

Thank you for your support, your kindness, and your prayers during this time.

With love and gratitude,

Maples/DeLaTorre Family
