Sean Valerga, Des Moines, IA — The community is deeply saddened by the passing of Sean Valerga, who unexpectedly passed away on Sunday, November 10, 2024, at the age of 29. Sean, who was a son, brother, and cherished family member, had lived with his extended family for the past four years. He was considered a "bonus" son to Vanessa Shelley and her family, who lovingly took him in after the passing of his mother, Amber, in October 2022.
Sean is survived by his father Davíde Valerga, his sister Alexis Valerga, as well as his brothers Bradley Bodeker and Zachary Valerga. His sudden passing has left a tremendous void in their lives, and the family is now seeking assistance to cover the expenses associated with bringing Sean back home for burial.
A fundraiser has been set up by Vanessa Shelley to help alleviate the financial burden of these costs. As of today, the fundraiser has raised $350 with donations from individuals like Susan Bean, Anonymous, and James Roberts, who have shown their support during this difficult time.
The family is grateful for the outpouring of love and prayers from the community, and they are in the early stages of making funeral arrangements. Updates on Sean’s obituary and the final arrangements will be shared as soon as they are available.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to Sean Valerga’s family. May his soul rest in peace, and may his loved ones find strength during this incredibly tough time.
