Welcome to the Live Your Dash Memorial Fund!

Our mission is to honor the life and legacy of Brian Shoop by encouraging others to live with kindness, generosity, and purpose every day. Brian was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend whose laughter, compassion, and love for life touched everyone who knew him.

The phrase “Live Your Dash” reminds us that life is not defined by the dates on either side of our name, but by the dash in between how we live, how we love, and how we impact others.

Through this memorial fund, we aim to keep Brian’s spirit alive by supporting our community, helping those in need, and inspiring people to make the most of every moment.

We invite you to follow our journey, participate in events, share memories, and join us in continuing Brian’s legacy of kindness and connection.

Live with purpose. Give with heart. Live Your Dash.
