Ronnie Bethard, Jr.

Hello, my name is Monica and I am here on behalf of my cousin Ronnie and his significant other, Mary.

On the morning of August 7th, my cousin was doing his job delivering mail for the USPS in rural Bloomington, IL. The same job that he had been doing for the last 4 years. Ronnie's mail truck was tragically hit by an SUV and his life was taken instantly. He leaves behind SO many devastated family members and friends.

Ronnie's life was moving in such a positive direction. He had fallen in love with Mary and they were making plans for their future. Ronnie had also become very close to her two kids, Oliver (almost 4) and Violet (1). On top of everything, they were expecting their first child together and Ronnie was so excited to be a dad!

I felt compelled to set up this GoFundMe for Mary and the kids. If your heart breaks for them as mine does, please give. All money collected will go directly to Mary to help with future costs.

Please let this be a lesson to stay vigilant on the roads. Be aware of your surroundings because life can change in a split second.

Thank you for your time and donations.
