Help Us Lay William Joseph Jennings To Rest

Dennis Wickes is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Joseph Jennings.

Donation protected

Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of William Joseph Jennings, a bright light extinguished too soon. William was a 22-year-old promising mechanical engineer who recently graduated from Northeastern University, summa cum laude. He had an exciting life ahead of him, but tragically lost his life in a plane accident while surveying fires in Australia.

William was known to bring light to any room he walked into, and his sense of humor was infectious. He was an avid hiker and lover of nature, always seeking new adventures in life. William was a talented saxophone player who played at the Carnegie Hall. He was full of life and potential, and left a mark on everyone he met.

William was imagining fires in Australia, hoping to bring help and relief to those affected. His heart was always focused on making a positive impact on the world, no matter how big or small. We know that his legacy will continue to inspire others to make an impact.

His father Joe, is disabled his mother Denise works as an aide for BOCES and given their circumstances, they are unable to muster the funds required to give their son a proper burial and say their last goodbyes. We're kindly requesting donations of any amount to help us give William the burial he deserves. We understand that the holidays are approaching, and times are tough, but any donation would go a long way in lifting the enormous burden off their shoulders.

We're hoping to raise enough funds to cover William's funeral costs and the costs to bring his remains home from Australia. Every little bit counts and will have an immense impact on supporting Williams' grieving family.

William was a wonderful human being, and it is heartbreaking that he left the world so soon. But, we can come together to honor him and give him the farewell he so deeply deserves.

Thank you for supporting Joe and Denise in this difficult time as they grieve the loss of their beautiful son.

Rest in peace, William Joseph Jennings.
