On Thursday, September 3, 2026, Brandon Seitz’s life was taken far too soon in a tragic accident while he was on his way to work. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Nicole, and his two beautiful daughters, Hailey and Ava. He was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a cherished son, brother, uncle, and friend. His loss has left an unimaginable hole in the lives of everyone who knew and loved him. 
<br>
<br>
 Brandon dedicated much of his life to serving and protecting others. In 2008, he began his career as a Correctional Officer in Lancaster, California. In 2012, he continued his career in Susanville, CA where he worked his way up to Correctional Sergeant and proudly served until his passing. 
<br>
<br>
 Brandon was taken from his family without warning, leaving Nicole and their daughters to face a future they never imagined having to navigate without him. Along with the overwhelming grief of losing a husband and father, they are now facing the hardships that come with such an unexpected and devastating loss. 
<br>
<br>
 We are asking for help to support them during this incredibly difficult time. Donations will help with Brandon’s memorial expenses, household bills, and everyday expenses for the girls, as well as the loss of Brandon’s income and financial support. Funds will also help with unexpected expenses and the many costs the family will face as they begin to rebuild their lives without him. 
<br>
<br>
 Our hope is to give Nicole and the girls some financial breathing room so they can focus on grieving, healing, and being together rather than worrying about how they will manage the expenses ahead. Because these needs will continue over time, recurring donations can provide steady help with ongoing household bills and everyday expenses for the girls in the months ahead. One-time donations are also deeply appreciated and will help ease the immediate financial pressure on the family. 
<br>
<br>
 No donation is too small. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with others is an incredible way to support Brandon’s family. Thank you for loving Brandon, remembering him, and standing beside Nicole, Hailey, and Ava during this heartbreaking time. Your prayers, kindness, generosity, and support mean more to our family than words can express.

Support Nicole, Hailey, and Ava Seitz

 Our family is facing a challenge we never expected, and we are reaching out for help as we navigate the next chapter of Brandon’s life.
</div>

 Just a couple of months ago, life changed in an instant. After a series of painful, confusing symptoms that led to multiple hospital visits and tests, Brandon was diagnosed with Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. It was a massive shock to all of us; the cancer had spread from his lungs, to his liver, kidneys, spine, and brain. To say the last couple months has been a whirlwind would be an understatement; we were faced with an overwhelming diagnosis that felt impossible to process.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 The Turning Point: Despite the severity of what we’ve been told, we have found a reason to be incredibly hopeful. After exhaustive testing, we discovered that Brandon’s cancer is driven by a specific genetic marker known as the ALK mutation.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Because of this, Brandon has been prescribed a new, 3rd-generation targeted therapy medication called Lorlatinib. This drug is a literal game changer. It is specifically designed to bypass the blood-brain barrier to target tumors in the brain and provide systemic treatment for the rest of his body. Doctors are optimistic that this medication will be the key to managing his condition and allowing him to regain his quality of life.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Why We Need Your Help: While we are so grateful to have a treatment plan, the reality of this journey is expensive and demanding. Between travel to specialized care centers, the mounting costs of supportive medical equipment, and the loss of income while Brandon focuses entirely on his health and recovery, the financial burden is growing quickly.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We want Brandon and his wife to be able to focus 100% of their energy on his treatment and recovery without the constant stress of how the bills will be paid.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 How You Can Help: We are setting up this fund to help cover:
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 • Medical and travel-related expenses as we coordinate care with top-tier specialists.
</div>
<div>
 • Support for Brandon and his wife to help bridge the gap while he is unable to work and focused on his treatment.
</div>
<div>
 • Everyday needs that have become secondary to this urgent fight.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Any amount - no matter how small - helps us take one more thing off their plate. If you aren't able to donate, we completely understand. Your prayers, positive thoughts, and sharing this page with others, are just as valuable to us.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Thank you for standing with Brandon. We believe in his strength, we trust in his medical team, and we are so grateful to have you in our corner as he begins this fight.
</div>

 With love,
