Sullivan, Missouri – George H. Knecht, a 22-year Navy veteran and former Navy SEAL, is currently in hospice care after battling multiple melanoma for the last four years. A GoFundMe fundraiser has been organized by his family to support his final journey, which includes covering funeral expenses and transporting him from Sullivan, Missouri, to Easton, Pennsylvania, where his family will have the opportunity to say their final goodbyes.
The fundraiser, organized by Aaren Knecht, seeks to raise $20,000 to not only cover the transportation costs but also provide travel expenses for Aaren and their mother to be with George during his final moments before he is laid to rest in Arlington, Virginia.
Despite the urgency of the situation, the fundraiser is still awaiting its first donation, and the family is asking for support from the community to ensure George Knecht’s final wishes can be fulfilled.
