I have created this GoFundMe on behalf of my nephew, Deke Sibley, who tragically lost his life in a motor vehicle accident on Monday, March 10th, 2025. As you can imagine, this sudden loss has shattered not only the Sibley Family but the entire Monticello Community. Deke was a bright light in all our lives. His smile could light up any room he entered, and his contagious laugh always had everyone around him laughing along. Anyone who had the privilege of knowing Deke benefited immensely from his presence and spirit.

Many of you have reached out to ask how you can help during this incredibly difficult time. In response, we have created a GoFundMe campaign to establish the Deke Sibley Memorial Fund. The funds raised through this campaign will help the Sibley Family continue to give back to the community in Deke's honor for years to come. Thank you for your support and generosity during this time of need. Your contributions will ensure that Deke's legacy of joy, kindness, and community spirit lives on.
