Celebration of The Life of Jason Carpenter

Donation protected
On March 26, 2020 My Big Brother Jason lost his 12 year battle with Multiple Myeloma, better known as Bone Marrow Cancer.  When I got the call my world shattered.  He was such an amazing person, and went through so much pain over the past 12 years.  Not only did I lose my Big Brother,  but the world was in quarantine because of COVID-19. I was unable to have a funeral or any services to celebrate his life.  It was heartbreaking.  Over the past few months since his passing I have tried to decide what to do to honor him.  I have decided to have a Celebration of Life for him, the way he would have wanted it.  I have rented the Elks hall and I will be having an event called The Celebration of the Life of Jason Carpenter.  I will have food, a cash bar, and a very special band playing along with some special guests that my Brother would have been so happy about.  I want this night to be about how Jason lived his life.  He didn't want a funeral, so I'm going to throw him a  party!  I want everyone to have an opportunity to pay their respects and celebrate how amazing my Brother is.  I have rented the hall for March 26, 2021 which will be the one year anniversary of his passing.  I am VERY much hoping that by then I will be able to hug each and every one of you! The donations I receive will pay for the hall, food, and music.  Any money that is donated past that amount I have decided to donate to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.  This is the hospital that my Brother had his donor bone marrow transplant and gave him so many more years of life than we thought he had!  I want to make a donation in dedication to Jason.  The guy who never let cancer get in his way!  He was the strongest guy I know.  He was smart, funny, caring, and missed so very much!  He's the guy that started a skin care business to help cancer patients, while he was sick!  He got up every single day and lived his life to the point I wondered how he did it!  When he was first diagnosed they gave him less than 6 months to live.  And he lived 12 years!!  That is one tough guy!  I want to Celebrate him and all he was!  Thank you to everyone who donates or shares this for me.  It means the world to me.  And please if you have never had a chance, please go to his youtube channel and watch his story.  He documented most of his cancer journey and it was an emotional roller coaster.  He helped so many people with his videos.  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClsUDXe46rpC-piBoYTxM2A https://photos.app.goo.gl/FVGFph6nzmcDeoz67  https://photos.app.goo.gl/FVGFph6nzmcDeoz67
