Celebrating life

Donation protected
Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted souls,

It is with heavy hearts that we come together to remember and celebrate the life of our beloved John, a young and charismatic soul who left us all too soon. John touched the lives of everyone he encountered with his infectious smile, zest for life, and genuine love for others.

John had an incredible passion for adventure, finding joy in the waves as he surfed and the powdery slopes as he snowboarded and he never met a stranger throughout all of his adventures from the different oceans and slopes around the world.

Unexpectedly, we find ourselves grappling with the loss of John, and as we mourn, we also face the daunting task of covering the unforeseen funeral expenses. In honor of the remarkable person he was, we are reaching out to our community for support during this difficult time.

Any contributions will help ease the financial burden on John's grieving family, allowing them to focus on commemorating his vibrant spirit rather than worrying about the expenses associated with saying goodbye.

Thank you for keeping John's memory alive through your compassion and generosity. Please share this fundraiser with your networks to help us reach as many caring hearts as possible.

With heartfelt gratitude, Family of John and his Friends

Update:

We find solace in remembering John for the selfless and compassionate person he was. John's legacy of kindness extends beyond his time with us, as he chose to be an organ donor.

His Honor walk will be at Renown Medical Center on Friday 11/17/23 at 5:15pm. Will meet in on the 9th floor ICU.

If you would like to say your final goodbyes you can do so in his room, T922, at 4:15pm

Thank you to everyone who has loved and supported John throughout his lifetime

Hey Friends and Family,

Wow so here I am giving it a go.. Rallying to cover funeral expense(s) for a brother from another mother.

My brother and friend John “Bistro” Whitmarsh. The John to me Wayne and vice versa. Cowboy up son. Not this time though, you’re checking out so it seems on your terms.

Heavy heart and mixed emotions.. Wanting to help out with my friend’s family with his funeral costs.

Will forward funds to Whitmarsh’s family to assist. Anything helps.

It’s not goodbye, but I will see you later B ‍
