On July 26, 2025 my nephew, Chance, tragically lost his battle with depression. I have started this fundraiser page to help my brother’s family pay for funeral expenses for their son. As with most unexpected passings, the expenses associated with funerals and memorials can grow to be quite large, very quickly. Tragedies such as this can never be planned for and any help received will go a long way to lessen their burden.

Chance was truly a light and a gift to this world, with a kind, gentle soul, and giving spirit. He touched the lives of every single person he met and went out of his way, always, to be helpful and kind to others. He is greatly missed by all.

Any donations received will be used to alleviate the expense of his service and memorial so that his family can solely focus on grieving their loss and healing in the upcoming days and weeks. Any funds left over will be directly donated to Suicide Prevention services.

We ask that his loss be used for a greater good and that he can continue helping people as he did in life by opening up a dialog and ending the stigma on mental health. If you or someone you know is suffering from depression or suicidal thoughts, please reach out for help. Text or call 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and reach out to family and friends.
