The late Branden Vanveghel was from Jacksonville. On June 5, the Vanveghel family received the heartbreaking news of Branden’s passing. Branden was a cherished son, brother, husband, and fur father, known for his kindness, humor, empathy, loyalty, and love for Godzilla and his dogs. He will be sorely missed every day.
Hailey Vanveghel, Branden’s relative, is organizing a GoFundMe campaign to cover the cremation and service costs. As the family prepares to celebrate Branden’s life, they are encountering financial difficulties and are asking for donations to assist with the expenses. The fundraiser has so far raised $160 out of a $6,000 goal, with contributions from Tristan Bush ($30), Emma Cross ($30), and Ramzy Haddad ($100).
Austen VanVeghel shared his thoughts on Facebook, urging, "You don’t have to donate anything, but it would be greatly appreciated. If nothing else though, I’d like to ask you to share it around for me and my family."
Hailey Vanveghel expressed gratitude for any support, stating, "Anything helps and we thank you." The community’s response highlights the collective effort to support the Vanveghel family during this difficult time.
