In memory of Alan - Final Services

My only brother unexpectedly passed away on December 22, 2024. He was only 43 years old. Mental health is not taken as serious as it should be in our society. Alan struggled for many many years with mental

illness. Our family is in shock and trying to make sense of this tragedy.

We are in the very early stages in planning services for Alan. We were not financially prepared for anything like this. We would like to raise enough to cover the cost of at least cremation services. I don’t even know what all that entails. Any donation is greatly appreciated. Nothing is too small. I appreciate each and every one of you.

A piece of my childhood died with Alan today. My only brother - you were my safe space and partner in crime growing up. Growing up it was you and I against this crazy ass world. I'll carry your memory with me, in every step I take. The bond we shared was unbreakable. I never knew how much I loved you and needed you until I stood looking at your lifeless body on that hospital bed wanting so desperately for you to wake up and say “What’s up Lee”.

We had a good conversation just days ago and everything seemed fine. We talked yesterday morning

Damn this sh*t is crazy - you were way too young. Mental Health is real and nothing to be played with
