Captain R.E. Toepfer, a cherished figure, has sadly passed away. He was a beloved father and community member, and his family is now seeking support to honor his memory. His daughter, Toepfer Kerri, is organizing a GoFundMe campaign to cover the expenses for traveling to his memorial service in Vancouver, Washington.
Kerri, who resides in Desert Hot Springs, California, has been facing financial difficulties and is seeking $500 to cover the costs of gas, a hotel, and food for the trip. She explains on the GoFundMe page that she won’t be able to work while attending the memorial, further exacerbating her financial strain. "My heart is broken," Kerri writes, expressing her grief and the urgency of the situation. She also shares her struggles, including living in a small 400-square-foot house she calls "TinyTown" and dealing with a recent breakup.
Sarah Lynn, a family member, shared her thoughts on Facebook, highlighting the love and light that Captain Toepfer brought into their lives. She mentioned the family’s need for prayers, support, and financial assistance to attend the memorial and celebrate the life of this amazing man.
Nicole Brown also shared her condolences and the GoFundMe campaign on social media, emphasizing the importance of coming together to support Kerri during this difficult time.
Kerri’s plea for help is heartfelt and urgent. "This is the last thing I wanted to do, but I’ve got no choice, no resources," she writes. She hopes to raise the necessary funds to ensure she can be present to honor her father’s memory and attend his memorial service on June 22.
