Dean "Deano" Long memorial fund and expenses

As most of you already know my uncle Dean Long was in a tragic car accident on the early morning of July 5th 2024 and was killed. Anyone who knew Dean or as many called him "Deano" knew that he was one of a kind, the sweetest, kindest soul who would give the shirt off his back for a complete stranger. He left a mark wherever he went and was the light in many peoples lives. Our family is struggling and we are all doing the best we can to begin to mourn and grieve the death of the light of our family. The one we all looked forward to seeing if we were having a bad day or needed a good laugh. It is going to be a long and hard up hill battle we all face from here on out. My grandparents who are the the glue that holds everyone together lost there one and only son, also there baby. During the grieving process and of course with the funeral expenses and bills, I want to do anything possible to take any sort of stress off of them that I can and them not have to worry about getting right back to work while processing something so sudden and life altering as this. I know Deano surely was loved by people near and far so anyone that is able to donate, our family appreciates even the smallest amount.

I also want to thank everyone for the inspiring posts on Deanos facebook and the messages we have all received. It is so bittersweet to see the huge impact he left in this world with his short 29 years.
