It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden passing of Jason Ketchum. Jason was my best buddy, a loyal friend, and a devoted father. He had a big heart, a strong presence, and a way of making the people around him feel seen and supported. He meant so much to so many, and his loss is being felt deeply by everyone who knew him. 
<br>
<br>
 Jason was always the first to offer a helping hand. As we come together to remember Jason, we want to honor the legacy he leaves behind—a legacy of love, loyalty, and showing up for others. He was the kind of guy who would drop everything to help someone, a devoted father, and a true friend. His big heart, steady presence, and genuine kindness will live on through his children, the people whose lives he touched, and the countless memories he leaves behind. 
<br>
<br>
 The family is now facing unexpected funeral and memorial expenses during an incredibly painful time. We are organizing this fundraiser to help ease the financial burden so they can focus on grieving, honoring Jason’s life, and supporting one another. Any amount, no matter how small, is truly appreciated. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser. Your kindness, love, and support mean everything. Thank you for helping Jason’s family during this difficult time.

<div>With a heavy heart, I share the heartbreaking news that my friend, Parker Wilson, passed away on Thursday, October 2nd, at his home in Wasilla. I’m shocked and deeply saddened knowing we will never get to hear his voice again or share his presence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Parker was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a great friend. He is survived by his wife, Karleen, their daughter, Zoey, and their son, Holden.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any support to help the family cover funeral and personal expenses would be much appreciated.
</div>

<div>Please allow them time to mourn and if you have any questions reach out to me directly.

<div>On November 2nd, 2023, 10 year old Hatcher Lester was diagnosed with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Prior to the diagnosis Hatcher's parents, Brenda and Brandon, spent increasingly more time chasing down explanations for Hatcher's growing list of vague symptoms. Relief came when each doctor's appointment identified straightforward answers for his illnesses, yet something continued to feel not quite right. When Hatcher became sick in late October and could not recover, their worst fears were confirmed. Within hours of his diagnosis, Hatcher was medevaced to Seattle Children’s Hospital to stabilize his health and to begin treating the cancer. Impossibly, even immediate stabilization has been an uphill climb for Hatcher and he is currently on a ventilator so that his little body can recover for the fight ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As any parent would, Brenda and Brandon have dropped everything to be at Hatcher's bedside.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The treatment for T-Cell ALL is intense and demanding. The road ahead for Hatcher is one no child or family should ever have to endure. At minimum, his treatment will involve lengthy hospital stays, extensive chemotherapy sessions, radiation treatments, and numerous plane rides. Almost certainly Hatcher’s family will have to navigate partial relocation to the Seattle area while he undergoes medical interventions. As you can imagine, the financial burden of receiving such a life-changing diagnosis is overwhelming. And the emotional toll on Hatcher, Brenda, Brandon and Owen cannot even begin to be accounted for. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We created this GoFundMe campaign because we deeply believe in the power of community. Your contributions, no matter the size, will help to lift the heavy weight on Brenda and Brandon’s shoulders and will make a tremendous difference in their lives. Your donations will not only help cover medical and travel expenses, but also provide the Lester family with the love, hope, and strength that our community is known for so they can focus on Hatcher’s recovery without the added stress of financial strain.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider donating and sharing our campaign with your friends, family, and social networks. Spread the word and rally for our friends who do SO MUCH for others. Together we can make a lasting impact on Hatcher’s journey towards remission and the bright future we know he has ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Hatcher’s Team
