William A. McBurney, Cherry Ridge Twp.—The community is in deep mourning following the untimely passing of William A. McBurney, affectionately known as Will. He tragically passed away in a motor vehicle accident on Saturday night while returning home to his beloved fiancé, Rachael, and their 9-month-old daughter, Hazel. Will was just 22 years old.
As the sole provider for his young family, Will’s sudden departure has left Rachael and Hazel not only grappling with immense emotional grief but also facing significant financial challenges. The loss of a loving father and partner has deeply affected the Wayne County community, where Will was known and cherished.
In response to this heartbreaking situation, Charity Garrett has organized a fundraiser to support Rachael and Hazel during this incredibly difficult time. The fundraiser, titled "Support Rachael and Hazel After Tragic Loss," has already raised $160 out of a $10,000 goal, with six generous donations from members of the community, including Caeli Creamer, Rylee Sheehan, Carl Norman, Anne Grivas, and Courtney Krajkovich.
Charity Garrett, who is coordinating the fundraiser, expressed her heartfelt plea for the community to come together and support Will’s family. "Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference to this family in need," Charity shared in her message. She also encouraged those unable to donate to share the fundraiser to reach a wider audience who might be able to help.
The community’s outpouring of support during this tragic time reflects the deep love and respect for Will and his family. The fundraiser aims to alleviate some of the financial burdens Rachael and Hazel now face as they navigate life without their beloved Will.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Rachael, Hazel, and the entire McBurney family during this difficult time. May Will’s memory be a source of comfort and strength for all who knew and loved him.
