Fund for Brian Wilder's Funeral and Wren's Future

I'm the father of Brian Wilder, a father himself of baby Wren Wilder. Brian was a strong 41-year-old, compassionate young man who rarely didn't have a smile for people, friends, or strangers. He worked hard to be self-reliant and was enormously excited to become a dad in November 2020. Over the last year, he encountered numerous challenges related to child custody, job, and health which sent him spiraling. In late June, it was medically determined he needed to have his appendix removed and surgery was not scheduled until last week.

On August 12, he underwent an appendectomy and was in regular contact with me while recovering at the home of a friend. On Friday, August 16, I was notified that he had passed away. I'm asking for help with the funeral and travel expenses. Any funds remaining will be directed to a trust fund FBO Wren Douglas Wilder, my grandson.
