Supporting CJ's Family in Their Time of Loss

As many of you know, we recently lost our dear friend, CJ. His passing has left an incredible void in all of our lives. He meant so much to so many — a truly one-of-a-kind person who made an impact on everyone lucky enough to know him.

We’re starting this GoFundMe to support CJ’s parents as they navigate these difficult days. Losing a child is something no parent should ever have to go through — and unfortunately, the emotional pain is often accompanied by financial stress. We're hoping to help ease that burden just a little.

This fundraiser will go toward:
  • Medical bills from CJ’s care
  • Cremation and memorial expenses
  • A celebration of life gathering so we can all come together and honor his memory
  • Other unexpected costs that come with a sudden loss

We set a goal of $7,000 , but truly, anything helps. Whether you’re able to give or just share this with others, it means the world. Let’s show CJ’s family how loved and supported they are.

Thank you so much for your generosity, your prayers, and for keeping CJ’s memory alive.

With gratitude,
The Ciesiel family, the Vrenios family, and all of CJ's friends
