Michelle Gogan: Celebrating Her Life and Love

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

We are heartbroken to share the devastating news of the unexpected passing of our beloved Michelle Gogan, who was tragically killed in the Burtonsville Giant parking lot the day after Christmas. Michelle was a beautiful and pure soul who brought immense joy, laughter, and love to everyone she met. Her presence was a gift, and her kindness and vibrant spirit touched countless lives, leaving a lasting impact on all who knew her. She will be missed more deeply than words can express. Our family is shattered without our shining light, Michelle.

This year has been especially devastating to the Gogan family. In September 2024, we lost my brother, David, and we never imagined we would have to bury another family member so soon. The pain of these fresh wounds, coupled with the financial strain of arranging two funerals within three months, has left us overwhelmed and struggling to cope.

In this incredibly difficult time, we are reaching out for support to help cover the unexpected expenses of Michelle’s funeral and ensure she receives the send-off she truly deserves. The funds raised will go toward funeral and burial expenses, memorial services, and other costs associated with celebrating Michelle’s life. Any remaining funds will be used to purchase a headstone for my brother, David, which we were unable to afford after his passing.

The Gogan family deeply appreciates your support during this heartbreaking time. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help alleviate this financial burden and allow us to focus on grieving and healing from this unimaginable loss. If you are unable to contribute, sharing this campaign with your network would mean the world to us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love and support.

With love,

The Gogans
