Tragedy strikes the Tolley family

Hello, my name is Kathy Sprinkle, and I'm starting this Go Fund Me for my sister, Renee, my niece Eden, and nephew Nicholas Tolley.

My brother-in-law, Michael Tolley passed away suddenly, without any warning on Wednesday, October 5, 2022. The family is absolutely shattered and still processing the loss of their husband, father and grandfather. They have endured many tragedies, but none more painful than losing their youngest daughter, Ivy, to a four-year battle with cancer at the young age of 23, just four short years ago. They are still grieving Ivy and are not prepared to endure another loss of this magnitude.

Mike loved his family without fail and was no stranger to hardship. He was very proud of his 18 years of sobriety. He started a career in drywall at the young age of 16 and was considered a master drywaller early in his career. As of the last 10 years, drywall had taken its toll on his body, leaving him in pain, but he never let it get in the way of supporting his family. He was also the first to help others no matter the need. He passed this generous nature on to his family. His grandson Mason was his pride and joy, not to mention his shadow.

With Mike being the sole provider, Renee will have to make huge adjustments in order to make ends meet. Unfortunately, mounting expenses will be more than Renee and the family can cover on their own. The funds will be used to help defray the costs of Mike’s memorial and burial, living expenses for Renee, and travel expenses for his son to be with the family during this heartbreaking time. We hope you can help lighten the load until Renee can make the necessary adjustments to become a sole provider. Every dollar will make a difference until the family spins out of this immediate situation.

The outpouring of support has been overwhelming and we could not be more grateful.
