Lou Ward, Dickinson, ND—The community is mourning the loss of Lou Ward, a beloved veteran, who passed away in the early hours of September 18, 2024. Lou was a celebrated war veteran, known for his love and grace, and his passing has left a deep void in the hearts of those who knew him.
Lou’s daughter, Heidi Ward, recently traveled to Maine to bring him home from hospice care, allowing them to spend precious final days together. Unfortunately, Lou passed away before arrangements could be finalized, and the family is now facing unexpected financial challenges.
A GoFundMe fundraiser, organized by Heidi Ward, has been set up to help cover the costs of Lou’s cremation and a Celebration of Life service. The family is asking for support to give Lou a proper farewell, as he did not have a life insurance policy, believing the VA would cover his cremation expenses, which they unfortunately do not.
So far, $20 has been raised toward the $10,000 goal, with a generous donation from Darcy Woodward. Heidi has expressed deep gratitude for the support shown and is asking for continued prayers during this difficult time.
Many friends and community members have shared their condolences on Facebook. John Caron Sr. wrote, "Please help bring Lou home. Please share, any amount will help, thanks."
Lou Ward’s family and friends are united in their grief, remembering him for the love and kindness he brought into their lives.
We extend our heartfelt prayers to the family and friends of Lou Ward during this challenging time. May his memory bring peace and comfort to all who knew him.
