My name is Bryce Lewis and I am starting a GoFundMe for my wife's best friend/sister. Over the past year, her father, Danny Simons, had multiple chronic health issues beginning with issues with his heart. Shortly after this, he began having intestinal issues where the doctors found a blood clot on his liver. He then fell and broke his back, injuring 11 of the vertebrae. While doctors tried to help him, more bad news arrived when he was diagnosed with end-stage liver disease. While they do offer organ transplants, Danny was too sick to receive one, and the family was informed he would not survive the surgery. He then was diagnosed with kidney failure. Because of this, he was returned home where he went on hospice for the remainder of time until he unfortunately passed away on March 27, 2026.
Danny left behind a family that he loved with all his heart. Unfortunately, they are left trying to figure out how to go about paying for all final costs, including medical bills, funeral costs, and any remaining bills that Danny had. He did not have any life insurance, so it is left on the kids to come up with it. With that said, none of the kids have the means to pay for this. Danny believed he had more time to get his affairs in order so this would not fall on his kids, but God called him home sooner than expected, and nobody was able to get prepared or get in a position for this.
If you knew Danny, his kids and his late wife were his world, and he would do anything he could for them. I am reaching out with every bit of faith that I can to help take away as much stress as possible for this amazing family. Every dollar and every share helps and will make a world of difference in helping to lay Danny to rest while helping to take some of the stress off his children's shoulders.
My goal for his family is $35,000. This will be used to cover any remaining medical bills, any final personal bills, funeral costs, cremation costs as he wished to be cremated like his late wife, the service that Danny asked for and deserves, and with whatever is left over to help his children as well in their time of grief.
