Chris Brackeen, Sheridan, WY—Chris Brackeen, a cherished mentor, friend, and coach, passed away recently, leaving the Sheridan community in mourning. Known for his profound impact on many, especially within the gymnastics community, Chris’s loss has left a significant void.
Osea Nelson, a close friend of Chris, has set up a fundraiser to ensure he receives a proper burial. The goal is to raise $2,800 to cover outstanding funeral expenses. So far, $520 has been raised through the generosity of seven donors, including Decki Beckett, Amy Gamble, Frode Hallingbye, and Osea Nelson himself.
Osea Nelson shared on Facebook, "Facebook universe, I was made aware of this difficult situation with our good friend Chris Brackeen. Please take a moment to read and donate if you can. My hope is we can mobilize our old gymnastics community here to see if we can take care of this for Chris! Thanks All!"
Katrina Petrone also commented, "Great pic," reflecting on the shared memories with Chris.
The fundraiser aims to prevent Chris from being laid to rest in an "indigent" plot, which breaks the hearts of those who knew and loved him. Osea Nelson expressed his grief and gratitude, saying, "I have not been able to even process my own grief around the loss of this amazing individual, but sadly I have been made aware that he has outstanding unpaid funeral bills. If you are able to help us get Chris properly laid to rest, we would be most grateful!"
The love and memories shared by Chris’s friends and the broader community will keep his legacy alive. The support from the community highlights the significant impact Chris had on everyone around him.
We are deeply saddened to learn of Chris Brackeen’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.
