Help our Son/Brother Honor Dad's Last Wishes

Donation protected
Max Petzke passed away unexpectedly of a heart attack on January 11, 2020, which was his 66th birthday. He leaves behind his 16 year old son Vaughn, who was his world.  Vaughn is being a strong young man and we are helping him follow his wishes for his father.  Vaughn wants to take his father's ashes to Lake Superior as soon as the snow is gone, and have a Memorial.  We would like to raise enough money for Vaughn to do this and have no financial burdens. Max was the best dad to Vaughn, always doing something outside, from motocross to fishing and cooking on the grill, everything he did, he did for Vaughn's happiness.  Max was an instant family member to everyone he met, doing anything for anyone. As Vaughn's mother and sister, who watched Max become a father and grandfather, we would be truly grateful for any help you can afford so that we can give Max a memorial that Vaughn will remember forever, and we can honor all that Max did for us as a family.  For the financial details:  the funeral services bill is $4600 and after that is paid, any money over that will go to do the Memorial.  If any funds are left after the Memorial we would put it in an account to only be used for Vaughn's college education.
