Hi everyone,

This isn’t easy to write, but after a lot of thought (and encouragement from friends and family), we’ve decided to open up and ask for support.

As many of you know, my family is currently facing a hard time with the unexpecting passing of our father, Mark Bolton. Our father had stage 4 renal cancer that he fought for many years. He’s always had a fighting heart, and did everything he could to be with family. He was the biggest family man, a brother of 4, a father of 5, and a grandfather of 5. He was loved by so many people and would always be the first to help anyone out.

While we have done our best to cover the expenses ourselves, we’ve come to realize that sometimes it’s okay to lean on your community.

We are making this GoFundMe to help cover funeral expenses, a permanent memorial and medical costs. Every bit helps, whether it’s a donation, a share, or simply a kind word.

This isn’t about charity — it’s about community. We are deeply grateful for any support, in any form, that comes our way.

With gratitude, the Bolton family.
