Our family is reeling after the sudden and tragic passing of Will, who died unexpectedly, leaving behind four children and a future that will never be the same.

Will and my niece were united in their love for their kids. He was a dedicated father who was actively involved in the lives of their three children Fathom, Fisher, River and his daughter Piper.

Now, in the midst of this heartbreak and emotional turmoil, my niece is left to care for three young children on her own. And Will's daughter Piper will be without the support of her father. The situation is overwhelming — emotionally, mentally, and financially.

There was no preparation for this. No roadmap for how to carry the weight of sudden single parenthood while also mourning such a complicated and tragic loss.

This devastating event comes during Men’s Mental Health Month — a powerful reminder of how much pain can remain unseen and how important it is to support one another through life’s hardest moments. We often talk about showing up for our families and communities, and now we have an opportunity to do just that.

We are raising funds to help cover immediate expenses, basic living costs, and to bring some stability to these children’s lives during a time of complete upheaval.

If you can donate, no amount is too small. And if you’re not in a position to give, please consider sharing this with others. Every act of kindness matters right now.

Thank you for your support and your compassion.

"The funds will be used to create trusts for the four kids for their future education and adventures and to create an emergency savings fund to support the family through the transition of this difficult time."
