Assist Wayne's Son in Overcoming the Loss of His Dad

Donation protected
I created this gofundme for my little brother, Ethan Drysdale.

On May 9th, Wayne Drysdale, passed away. It was unexpected, and the exact cause is still not known. We suspect a heart attack. He grew up in Yucaipa, CA and lived there most of his life. Wayne was a family man who especially loved his two sons, Drew and Ethan. He was also very close with his brother, Kevin, his sister, Leslie, and his mother. He was a construction worker for most of his life and gave his all on every job. He was a huge Colts fan and loved to BBQ with his family. Wayne had a larger-than-life personality and was the life of every party. He loved his family and made friends wherever he went. If you ever needed someone to talk to or help with ANYTHING, he'd be there for you. He was a loyal friend. He had just turned 54 and seemed optimistic about his future. We're still trying to make sense of it all. He'll be missed forever! Rest easy, Wayne.

A few weeks prior to him passing, his son, Ethan, moved back to California to live with him and make up for their years apart while Ethan was growing up. Ethan was in no way prepared to deal with his passing or assume the mortgage payments, vehicle payments, care of his pets, etc. Wayne's oldest son, Drew, will be taking time off of work to fly out from Missouri and help Ethan figure things out. If anyone is able to assist as they figure out where to go from here, we'd appreciate it. We've been reluctant to ask for any help, but there's no denying that it's necessary.

Wayne's service will be held at the Desert Lawn Funeral Home in Calimesa, CA on June 7th at 1:30pm. All friends and family are welcome to attend. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Please share, if possible.
