Help me get my deceased son home

Donation protected
My name is Charles Rush and this morning my wife received the worst possible call a parent could ever get.

My stepson Gary Eugene LeCour Jr. unexpectedly passed away this morning, due to a coronary failure, at his home in Medford, Oregon. He was only 29 years old with his whole life still in front of him. His mother, Patricia Rush, and only brother, Nicholas LeCour, are both devastated.

Gary was in the United States Navy when he was in his early 20's and was stationed in the Pacific Northwest. He loved playing video games , watching anime, The Jacksonville Jaguars (since he grew up in Florida) and watching Jeff Gordon race. He loved listening to music and two of his favorite bands were Korn and Kiss. He truely loved listening to Kiss and was a huge Ace Frehley fan. He went to his first Kiss Concert with his mother at the age of 10.

He had moved to Oregon just over 6 months ago. He met Heather Barsuglia and quickly fell in love. They were on their way to what seemed to be a wonderful relationship for the both of them. He would call home several times a week just to talk with his mom and brother and catch up or just say hi. 

Currently he is at the funeral home in Medford. We do not have the funds to be able to get him shipped back to us so that we can see him one last time. We thought about trying to find a way to go to Oregon and handle everything there but again due to our finacial situation along with my job and our pets we would not be able to be gone that long.

The cost of imbalming , transportation and funeral services here at our home in Pilgrim , Kentucky are more than we have the means to get on such a short notice.

With the obvious urgancy of this we would need the funds if we would be able to aquire them within the next week in order to get him back home to his mother.

You dont have to have children to know how much this would mean to someone. If you do have children then you no doubt understand how hard it is for a parent to have to say goodbye to a child in this way.

I don't know how to describe how thankful I would be if in some way I was able to do this for the love of my life. I do know that I would be forever grateful to anyone and everyone that could help me make this possible. My family is my everything and I love them with all of my heart.
