<div>Help Kerri &amp; Her Family Through an Unimaginable Loss
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our hearts are broken for Kerri and her family. Just days ago, Kerri lost her beautiful 16-year-old daughter, Rosie—a loss no parent should ever have to endure. As they try to make sense of the unimaginable, they are also faced with the many emotional and financial burdens that come with such a devastating tragedy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anyone who knows Kerri knows the kind of person she is. She has always been there for others, offering compassion, encouragement, and support without ever expecting anything in return. During some of life's hardest moments, she has helped lift up so many people, including myself. Now, we hope to do the same for her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are hoping to raise funds to help ease some of the expenses and challenges that lie ahead. These funds will help with time away from work, and other unexpected expenses, allowing Kerri and her family the time and space to grieve without added financial stress.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you've ever been touched by Kerri's kindness—or if you'd simply like to help a family during one of the most devastating times imaginable—any donation, no matter the amount, is deeply appreciated. Kerri has spent so much of her life lifting others up. Now it's our turn to lift her up. Thank you for your love, support, generosity, and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

Support Kerri's Family After Tragic Loss

<div>With a heavy heart, I honor the life of my husband, Justin Brown, a man who meant so much to so many, and whose absence leaves a silence that words can never truly express or fill.
</div>
<div>Justin was a Correction Officer, a husband, a father, a son, a brother, and a friend. He was a truly honorable, sincere, and good man, the foundation upon which our family was built. To me, he was a best friend and partner of 20 years. To our 7-year-old son, Gabriel, he was a hero, a protector, and a guiding light. To those who worked beside him, he was respected, dependable, and considered “the epitome of what a C.O. should be.”
</div>
<div>Born in Yonkers and later building our life together in Gardiner, New York, Justin carried a quiet strength and a deep sense of responsibility. At just 33 years old, he lived a life rooted in love, commitment, and sacrifice, always working to provide us with security, comfort, and unconditional love. He worked hard every single day not for recognition, but for his family, his most valued treasure.
</div>
<div>As a proud Correctional Officer, C.O Brown served with honor. He showed up every day, did his job, and did it right, often working extra hours, without complaint, to provide for us. He earned the respect of his colleagues not only for his work ethic but especially for his character. He was someone you could count on, someone whose presence alone brought steadiness and reassurance. I saw this reflected in the commitment and support of his fellow officers every day.
</div>
<div>It is often the simplest truths that cut the deepest, and the truth is: Justin was taken from us far too soon. His life was tragically lost in a motorcycle accident during his commute to work, a moment that should have been ordinary, but instead became unimaginable. As always, my husband was on his way to do what he always did: provide for our family.
</div>
<div>His loss is not just tragic it is devastating. I will feel it in the quiet moments at home, in the absence of his laughter and his smile, as well as in the milestones he should have been here to witness with us all. His missing presence will be felt by our family, friends, colleagues, and all the lives he touched, from now and forever.
</div>
<div>Today is not only about grief, it is also about remembering who Justin was: a man who loved deeply, gave selflessly, and shared those qualities with everyone in his life. A man who stood as a pillar for our family and a source of strength for all who knew him.
</div>
<div>In this time of unimaginable loss, my son and I now face a future without the man who held so much together. As a community, we have the opportunity to stand where Justin once stood; to offer support, to help lift us up, and to help carry us through the impossibly difficult days ahead. Every contribution and every act of kindness reflects the love Justin gave so freely, and gives others a chance to return that love to his family.
</div>
<div>Let us remember him not for how he left this world, but for how he lived in it, with honor, strength, and love.
</div>

<div>Larome “Tone” Johnson was a retired, well-respected correction officer with the NYS Department of Corrections, a loving husband, father, son, brother, and amazing friend to all who knew and loved him. His smile , sarcasm and style filled any room he walked into. After bravely overcoming both COVID and cancer, his life was brutally and senselessly taken in a dispute with a neighbor, resulting in the end of a beautiful life. . His passing has left his wife, children, father, siblings, friends, and coworkers heartbroken and searching for comfort in their faith.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Larome was known for his dedication to his work and his unwavering love for his family and friends. He touched many lives through his service and kindness, always putting others before himself. Now, his family is devastated and hurt, but they are leaning on God for support as they navigate this unimaginable loss.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I had the pleasure of working with Larome and Monique for 16 years. Throughout these years we have become family. I have watched their children grow and then build a beautiful life together.  This loss is a loss everyone who knew and loved them will feel forever. I’m asking for assistance in raising funds for this beautiful family who I love dearly. 
</div>
<div>We are raising funds to help cover the cost of Larome’s funeral and related expenses. <strong>Your support will help ease the financial burden on his grieving family and allow them to honor his memory with the dignity he deserves.</strong> Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference and is deeply appreciated. Thank you for standing with Larome’s family during this difficult time. We thank you all for the love and support you so willingly give. God bless you all.

Guillermo Mollins

<div>Guillermo Mollins, a dedicated City of Newburgh firefighter and proud member of Local 589, and also a U.S. Army veteran, was seriously injured last week when he was struck by a wrong-way driver in a devastating motor vehicle accident. Due to the severity of his injuries, he requires multiple ongoing surgeries and a long recovery. Because he is relatively new to the department, his available sick leave will only cover him for a limited time and once that is exhausted, he will need to take a leave of absence to recover, during which time he will receive no pay.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He is a loving father to his 10 year old son and donations raised through this fund will help offset medical costs, cover essential living expenses, and provide stability and support for his son during this incredibly difficult time. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page with your family, friends, and local fire departments. Let’s come together as a community to support one of our own — someone who has who has repeatedly answered the call to serve others.
</div>
<div>Keep Guillermo Mollins and his family in your prayers.
