Robert “Bobby” Craven, a 40-year-old husband and father, passed away unexpectedly on August 13, 2024, following a major heart attack. His sudden death has left his family in deep sorrow, particularly his wife, Brooke Craven, and their three children, Alex (13), Adam (12), and Andrew (9).
The tragedy struck as the family was preparing for the start of the new school year. Alex, the eldest son, was the one who made the heartbreaking discovery, finding his father unresponsive. Despite efforts by Alex and his mother to revive Bobby, it was tragically too late.
In response to this devastating loss, a GoFundMe account has been set up to assist the Craven family during this challenging time. The fundraiser highlights Bobby’s ongoing battle with heart problems, which began in 2020. After years of struggle, Bobby had recently received approval for disability benefits, with his first payment arriving just days before his passing. This underscores the emotional and financial difficulties the family now faces.
Brooke Craven, who has been the primary breadwinner for the family, is now left to shoulder the entire financial burden. The GoFundMe campaign aims to ease immediate financial pressures, such as funeral expenses, and to support Brooke as she takes time off work to help her children cope with the loss of their father.
The community is encouraged to contribute to the GoFundMe page to provide the Craven family with the financial relief they desperately need and to offer them the space to grieve and adjust to life without Bobby.
