In memory of Merlin Thomas Corcoran: Supporting his family

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

It is with profound sadness that I share that my father, Merlin Thomas Corcoran, has passed away after struggling with mental illness. Our hearts are shattered, and our world has been turned upside down as we try to navigate this unimaginable loss. My dad was a loving husband, a devoted father, and a man who gave so much of himself to others. While he struggled in ways we may never fully understand, we will always remember him for the love and joy he brought into our lives.

Now, in the wake of this tragedy, my mom, Danielle, is facing overwhelming emotional and financial burdens. Losing a loved one is devastating, but the reality of funeral expenses, household bills, and the everyday costs of living only add to the weight of grief. My mother has always been the rock of our family, but this loss has left her in a place where she needs support more than ever.

We are setting up this GoFundMe to help ease some of the immediate financial strain on her and give her the space to grieve without the fear of losing her home or struggling to make ends meet. Any donation, no matter how small, will help with funeral expenses, daily necessities, and ensuring that she has the support she needs to heal & continue to provide for her youngest son Connor.

If you’re unable to donate, we completely understand—sharing this page and keeping our family in your thoughts means the world to us. We are so grateful for any kindness, love, and generosity you can offer during this heartbreaking time.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story, and for supporting us in any way you can.

With love,

Andrew & Family
