Our hearts are with the family and friends of Peyton Krupp, whose passing has touched so many in our community.
Peyton was known for his kindness, his humor, and the way he showed up for others; including his support of Team Mary and the mission behind our annual 5K.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who has chosen to honor Peyton’s life by making donations in his memory. Your generosity not only celebrates who he was but also strengthens the programs and families Team Mary is committed to supporting. Gifts made in Peyton’s name will help us continue providing opportunities, care, and joy to children and young adults with special needs.
To Danielle, Elayna, Paige and Fulton: please know that our community stands with you. His impact will continue to ripple through every act of kindness done in his honor.
If you would like to read more about Peyton’s life or share condolences, his obituary can be found here: https://www.crosserpriesmanfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Peyton-Felipe-Krupp?obId=49404360

May his memory be a blessing, and may the support given in his name continue to bring joy to others just as he did.

We don't want to rush summer but we do want everyone to mark their calendars for the annual Team Mary 5K at Gem Beach. Join us as we run, walk and raise money to support the special needs community in Ottawa County.

Thanks to all of our friends, family and community members that support Team Mary, we were able to raise over $20,000 for Team Mary and it's goal to help families right here in our community! We are excited to be able to continue our donations to the special needs prom and the ARC summer camp program. We continue to help out in other ways too with donations for field trips, specialized classroom supplies and donations for accessibility help for families navigating a crisis or challenges with a special needs child. Because of YOU we are able to brighten days and provide support to show these families they are not alone.
From Mary and Erin, Thank you! ❤️💚💙🩷
