Bert's Big Adventure

05/08/2026

Nothing says family like a day at the ballpark! Our Bert’s Big Adventure families knocked it out of the park at the 2026 Spring Family Reunion Adventure at Gwinnett Stripers’ Gwinnett Field! Fueled by our good friend at Gas South, the day was filled with laughter, hugs, unforgettable memories, and the magic of being together again. 💜

These reunions are more than just fun days out. They’re a reminder that once you become part of the Bert’s Big Adventure family, you’re family forever.

A BIG thank you to our amazing sponsors, volunteers and supporters who help make these meaningful moments possible for our families. Your generosity creates memories that last a lifetime. ✨

With heavy hearts and deep love, we share the passing of our dear friend and longtime supporter, Stacy O’Kelley, who left us peacefully on April 24, 2026, at the age of 56, surrounded by those he loved most.

Stacy was a radiant presence. He was a special soul who brought warmth, joy, and light to everyone he met, especially our Bert’s Big Adventure families. For more than 20 years, he built The Fur Bus into Atlanta’s beloved rolling celebration, serving as the heart and soul behind it all. For nearly a decade, Stacy generously dedicated his time and his fleet to ensuring our families began their once-in-a-lifetime journey to Walt Disney World with comfort, care, and unforgettable joy.

Alongside his wonderful wife Ally and the incredible team, Stacy helped create magical first moments, welcoming families with laughter, easing every detail of travel, carefully handling luggage, and filling the ride with sweets, treats, and excitement for what was ahead. He made sure the journey was just as special as the destination.

Stacy’s unwavering support for our families never faltered, a true reflection of his extraordinary heart. He was simply one of a kind. He was full of grit, compassion, and a depth of love that left a lasting impact on everyone lucky enough to know him. His smile could light up a room, his hugs could lift your spirit, and his presence made the world feel brighter.

Stacy, thank you. Thank you for the love you gave so freely, for the joy you created, and for the unforgettable “red carpet” beginnings you provided to so many families.

We ask that you keep Stacy, Ally, and all who loved him in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
