Laying a hero to rest

Less than 48 hours ago my family received a call that would change the lives of many people. My stepfather Command Sgt. Maj. Timothy A. Bolyard was killed in Afghanistan. This man is a true hero who loved his country and payed the ultimate sacrifice. He leaves behind a beautiful new bride and a huge family who cared for him deeply. He was less than 2 months away from coming home and retiring. After 24 years of service and countless deployments the Lord called him home and I am positive he continues to watch over his family and country to keep us safe. 

I created this Go Fund Me to help raise money for travel expenses. While there will be some funds released for most immediate family, Tim has a huge extended family that would also like to pay their respects and lay him to rest.

Anything you can donate is very much appreciated and means the world to all of our family and friends.

All donations that are not used for travel expenses will be dontated to the Fisher House Foundation.

Again I thank you all in advance for any help or donations in assisting us to lay a wonderful husband, father and true American Hero to rest.

Please read this article and know that this man was the definition of a HERO.
