On August 22, 2020, the Oliech family suffered a devastating loss with the passing of Kevin, their youngest son, who had been battling cancer for four years.

Kevin's final days were spent in Berlin, Germany, where he received treatment and ultimately breathed his last.

Family's Plea for Help

Kevin's family, including his brothers Ken and Dennis, were left to pick up the pieces and make arrangements for his repatriation.

Ken and Dennis were at Kevin's bedside when he passed away, a moment they will never forget.

"To my brother Kevin. I don’t even know where to start there is so much I want to say but I don’t think I will ever manage to say it all in one day. Yesterday I couldn’t even do anything but cry, my body was numb. One thing I know is our brotherhood will forever be in my heart until we meet again brother," Dennis wrote in a heartfelt tribute.

As the family navigates this difficult time, they are seeking help to repatriate Kevin's body back home.

Our thoughts are with the Oliech family during this trying time. May they find peace and comfort in the days ahead.
