Unexpected Death Leaves Family without Husband&Dad

Donation protected
On Wednesday, December 20, 2023, our dear friend Michael Fridmann suddenly and unexpectedly passed away, leaving behind his beloved wife and friend, Diane, and two daughters, Lindsey and Erica.

We are starting this GoFundMe to help the Fridmann Family cope with this tragic loss and its implications for their future.

Michael was a devoted father, son, husband, and friend, always there to support and cheer on his daughters in their endeavors. The Fridmanns have always been a kind and selfless family.

Since the day we met Michael (more than 20 years ago), he worked tirelessly to support his family financially, emotionally, and otherwise - lots of long days and nights.

Whenever we needed Michael, he was there for us, without hesitation.

Michael will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Losing a dad and husband so abruptly is heart-wrenching, and can never be healed. Compounding this untimely and very unexpected tragedy are the unforeseen financial burdens and challenges that Michael’s sudden death has left for his family, now without the vital support of Michael and his income, with no life insurance, and no funds set aside for future educational, funeral, or other needs.

Through this page, we are hoping to help ease the burdens that are ahead for Diane and the girls.

The outpouring of love and support from family and friends during this unimaginably difficult time means so much. Any donation, however big or small, will have a lasting impact on helping the Fridmann family navigate through their journey ahead.

Please consider helping, and keep the family in your prayers, especially during this Holiday Season.
