The Merritts Girls

Hi everyone,

It is with the heaviest heart that I share the unexpected and devastating loss of Danielle’s fiancé, Brandon Merrits, who passed away suddenly on June 18th. This tragedy has left her family completely heartbroken.

Brandon was not only the love of her life but a devoted father to their two beautiful daughters, Halston and Leighton, and was excitedly preparing to welcome their third baby girl, due in just a few short months. His love for his family was unmatched—he worked hard every day to provide, protect, and build a future full of love and stability for them all.

Now, Danielle is left navigating this unimaginable loss while trying to stay strong for the girls and the baby on the way. The emotional toll is overwhelming, and so too is the financial burden that comes with it. Between funeral expenses, everyday living costs, and the needs of the children—especially with a newborn arriving soon—I’m reaching out for help.

We humbly ask for your support, whether through a donation, a share, or simply keeping us in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. Every contribution, no matter how small, will help ease the financial strain and allow her to focus on caring for their children and preparing for the arrival of the baby.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, compassion, and support.

With love,

Shelbie Fahringer & Friends,

(Best Friend of Danielle)
