Remembering Jacob Marsden

My name is Tracy Egan and I have been friends with Mel, Gary, Jacob and Josh Marsden for 13 years. My son Joel was so fortunate to have Jake as a terrific friend since their prep year at Christian College.

You may have heard the tragic news that Jacob passed away this morning from complications due to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

We are all devastated to lose Jacob because he was simply the most caring, supportive, loving and faith filled person we had ever met.

When such an unexpected tragedy hits we all look for ways to help which is why I'm starting this fundraiser. Mel and Gary will need financial help with Jacob's funeral expenses and their living expenses while they are unable to work.

I would be so grateful for any contribution that you can make. It will be so helpful to the family during this harrowing time.
