Earlier this week, we shared the heartbreaking news of the passing of our friend and coworker, Jacob Beltz. The incredible outpouring of love, prayers, and support from our employees, customers, friends, and community has been a true comfort to Jacob's family and to all of us here at Shouldice.
Many have reached out asking how they can help. A GoFundMe has now been established to support Jacob's wife, Bree, and their two young boys, Jasper and Cooper, as they navigate this unimaginable loss.
If you are able, any contribution—no matter the amount—or simply sharing the fundraiser with others is greatly appreciated.

Jacob wasn't just a valued member of the Shouldice family—he was a devoted husband, an incredible father, and a friend who brightened every room he walked into. Whether he was sharing stories, showing off pictures and videos of his boys, or making someone laugh, he left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
Please continue to keep Bree, Jasper, Cooper, and the entire Beltz family in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you for helping us surround them with the same love and support that Jacob so freely gave to others. ❤️
