SPC Aaron Rathmann Funeral Expenses

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Jason and I am fundraising for my friend James Gennock’s son’s funeral expenses.

On July 27th, Aaron Rathmann, beloved son of Jim Gennock and brother of Angelina Gennock, was struck on his motorcycle and abruptly departed this earth to join the other angels in heaven. Aaron was an active member of the US Army, but not all appropriate costs were covered through government aid. In particular, a headstone that does justice to a young man who touched so many lives in impactful and wonderful ways. Please join us in honoring his memory by making a donation to his Father Jim to help offset this huge burial expenditure. Aaron left a substantial monetary benefit to his mother, but she will not offer a dime in financial assistance to assure that her son has an honorable resting place. Additionally, as a result of time away from work, these donated dollars will help keep the Gennock family out of financial hardship while the bills and expenditures continue to pile up. On behalf of Jim and his entire grieving family, we whole heartedly thank you in advance for your donation to the family. In kindest appreciation, Jason Leckliter.


***Please note: The slander and inaccurate information spread on Facebook by Aaron's Mother about the validity of this Go Fund Me is provably false. The military provides basic headstones for their fallen, but the goal of this fundraiser is to provide Aaron with a more suitable headstone that honors him on a grander scale. Additionally, the statement about Aaron's Father, Jim, refusing to allow the Rathmann's to participate in Aaron's services and burial is a complete lie. Evidence disproving these claims will be sent to any person who requests them via direct messaging on Facebook. Aaron's Mother received multiple messages extending requests for her involvement throughout the planning process, but she did not respond. Thank you again for your support!
