Final Expenses for Bryan Christian

Hello everyone. Tragically, we lost my dad, Bryan Christian, very unexpectedly on Monday. Navigating the difficult and sudden loss of a parent, as well as dealing with the insane cost of burial, has proven extremely difficult for my family and me. Anyone who knew my dad knows he was a hard worker who would do all he could to help a friend out, and would ask nothing in return. That’s what makes this so difficult for us, but we have to ask for help.

My dad left behind four kids and my beautiful, strong mother. There is no life insurance and our family is already behind on bills. If we were just treading water before, we’re drowning now. My mom is now left to solely care for my two baby brothers at home, and has been left with almost nothing after his passing. She has had to miss work as a result, and, even though she is dealing with such a traumatic event, is facing the reality that she can’t even take much time off of work to mourn properly, as she is now the sole provider of two young children.

It’s really hard for us to have to ask, but if you could donate to help our family and give our father a basic, dignified burial, we would be forever grateful. Anything will help, including just sharing if you can. We are trying to raise enough to cover the cost of a small, basic funeral and, if we are able to raise enough, we are hoping to cover the cost of all of the bills and debt that has been left to my mom. We thank everyone who has reached out during this difficult time to offer a hand or provide emotional support. Your kind words and assistance during this time has made navigating this nightmare possible. Thank you.

For anyone who would like to directly donate to the funeral home, donations may be made directly to Layne's Funeral Home in Altamont, TN.
