Help Us With Our Vietnam Veteran Father Marion Pedigo

HUGE THANK YOU TO JOE SWECKARD for his $100 donation, SHANEL SWAIN for her $50 donation, LORI TAYLOR for her $20 donation, and DEAN for his $100 donation.

Our father, Marion (Butch) Pedigo, passed away on October 25th due to extensive and exhausting medical complications that have been such a battle for him. He was the most amazing father to my sister and I, an outstanding grandfather (Papaw) to his grandchildren, and a great friend to many. He also has a son, my brother Rob (Bobby) Ballew.

Our dad lived a long life full of hard work, dedication, and always putting those he loved and cared for before himself. We are absolutely heartbroken to lose him, and while it brings comfort to know that he is with his mom and dad, and two grandchildren in Heaven, the emotional toll and acceptance that he's gone is just not going to be any easier for any of us as expected.

Leaving behind family who cherished him greatly, and friends who loved him dearly - Dad is comfortable, in peace, and eternal rest.

This fundraiser is very hard for us to do, but the expenses that are arising with his unexpected passing are overwhelming and seem very unachievable for us to gather on our own in such a short time frame. Our father is a Vietnam veteran, and he absolutely deserves an honorable Celebration of Life and 21 gun salute. However, we need to have all funds paid in full to rent an establishment before a service date can even be set and the process can begin. They do not have an option for payment plans, which makes this all the more stressful.

If you feel led to donate, please know how grateful we would be for any and all help to celebrate our father. We thank you all, loved ones, for your kindness and support during this time of grieving for so many who loved and cared for this incredible dad of ours.

Please reach out to myself, my sister Crystie Berry, or my brother Rob Ballew with any questions. Thank you ❤️
