With permission from my wife and family:

Dear friends and family,

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of our beloved William's passing in Anchorage, Alaska. We are committed to bringing him home to White Mountain, his final resting place.

We're facing unexpected costs for lodging, food, and transportation while awaiting his death certificate in Anchorage, and we don't want to leave him alone. Unfortunately, our lodging extension was denied, and we're now paying out-of-pocket.

We humbly ask for your support to help us bring William home with the dignity he deserves. Your contributions will ease the financial burden, allowing us to focus on honoring his memory. Thank you for your love and support during this difficult time.
