Support for Brian Brissette Family Fund

Donation protected
On Sunday November 25 2018 our beloved Brian was killed tragically in a car accident on his way home from deer hunting in Manistee. We, his family are left heartbroken and devastated.

All those who knew Brian know of his love for riding his motorcycle, every kind of hunting and fishing and his love and support for his union brothers. He was a proud and long standing member of IBEW Local 692 and was often volunteering for various Union activities. He most recently helped organize and run the annual Skeet and Eat in August for the Michigan Brotherhood Fund.

Brian leaves his loving wife Vannessa and three children Dylan, Gabrielle, and Celia. Gabrielle just started college classes at Delta this year and Celia is a senior in high school. 

Now being the young father he was, and only being 44,    Brian had not set things up to provide for his family in the case of his death. His untimely passing is causing great financial burden  for his family. Brian did not have life insurance and was the primary wage earner for his family. So moving forward is going to be very difficult for them. Vannessa is left with no current means to pay the mortgage and household bills.
I’m putting this Go Fund Me campaign together to help pay for funeral expenses and to ensure that Vannessa and her children can stay in their home and pay bills until Vannessa can find employment. The home that they are in was Brian’s grandparents home and is over 70 years old so it is not in the greatest shape and needs continuing repair which adds to their financial burden.

All proceeds from this fundraiser will be used to cover funeral expenses and pay monthly expenses until they can get back on their feet. It has been set up for Vannessa to have exclusive and direct access to all funds collected. Please do what you can, every little bit helps. Thank you!
