Support the Gruzas Family

It is with heavy hearts that we share on April 4th Chris lost his battle to an aggressive brain tumor.  Chris was diagnosed with this tumor almost 20 years ago and given less than a year to survive. In typical Chris’ stubborn fashion, he proved the doctors wrong and beat their projections by 20 years before his condition deteriorated rapidly within the last 24 months.  In his 20 bonus years, he built a successful business, married Jamie, and had 2 amazing children (Brody and Charlee).  Chris had a huge heart and was always looking for an opportunity to help others.  Even in his last few months, with limited movement in his left arm and confined to a wheelchair, Chris was making bird houses in his garage for family, friends, and his care givers as a way to say thanks to all that had helped Jamie and him. 

We are saddened by the tragedy that Jamie and her family have endured and are hoping to soften the financial blow, even a little. We would like to honor Chris’ life and help Jamie and the kids move into the next phase of their lives.  As such, we are establishing a 529 college fund for Jamie’s 2 children, Brody (7) and Charlee (2).  If you would like to help, any donation would be appreciated.
