Hi,

I'm Mollie and our dear friends Darrin and Annie Yoder experienced the unimaginable loss of their son, Deke, in a tragic motorcycle accident. No parent should ever have to walk through this kind of grief, and we can surround them as a community that loves them deeply.

If you know Darrin and Annie, you know this….they are the kind of people who show up.
They show up for friends, for families, for kids, and for this community in ways that are quiet, consistent, and full of heart.

From pickleball courts to cornhole tournaments, from Butte Volleyball to ping pong tables, these two have poured their time, energy, and love into bringing people together. They’ve built connection, laughter, and belonging for so many of us.

Now it’s our turn to show up for them.

With any sudden loss comes not only overwhelming grief, but also unexpected financial burdens, funeral expenses, time away from work, and the many details that come in the days and weeks ahead.

Many years ago, when my own son was in a near-fatal accident, this very community wrapped around me in ways I will never forget. The support, generosity, and love carried us through one of the darkest times in our lives.

Let’s do that now, for Darrin and Annie.

If you are able, please consider donating. No amount is too small. And if you can’t give financially, sharing this and keeping them in your thoughts and prayers means more than you know.

Let’s surround them with the same love they have so freely given to all of us.

With heavy hearts and deep compassion,
we come together for Darrin and Annie.

Thank you,

Mollie
