In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in memory of Vanden to Goshen Baptist Church 1070 Goshen Road, WV 26508. Please note ‘In Memory of Vanden’ on the memo line. All donations in memory of Vanden will be forwarded as a whole to “Out of the Ashes”

family has asked us to help get the word out that they would LOVE for everyone to record a quick video (doesn't have to be professional at all), and post it to Facebook page. Just record it selfie style with your phone if that's all you have.

We would all love to hear your memories of Vanden. This will mean the world to his parents, wife, kids, and friends.

Thank you in advance for sharing.... :)
