Help Lay my Brother to Rest with the Burial He Deserves

Hi, my name is Marianna Thomas, and I’m James’s youngest sister.

It breaks my heart to say that my brother James has passed away. His loss was sudden and has left our family in deep pain. James was more than just my big brother—he was my protector, my role model, and someone I looked up to all my life. He had the biggest heart, a great sense of humor, and he never hesitated to help those around him.

As we try to come to terms with this tragedy, we are also faced with the difficult task of making final arrangements—something no family is ever truly prepared for. I’m starting this GoFundMe to help raise the funds needed to cover James’s funeral and memorial expenses. We want to give him the peaceful and dignified farewell he deserves.

Any donation, no matter the size, would mean so much to me and my family. If you’re unable to give financially, please consider sharing this page or keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly hard time.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love and support.

With love,

His Hershey
