On Monday, August 22, 2022, 43-year-old Adrien Hachey passed away unexpectedly during a family camping trip. The New Jersey father-of-four went missing on Sunday while camping in a private campground in Hazle Township in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.

According to Pennsylvania State Police, his family reported him missing at 10:24 am on Sunday. At the end of a search that stretched over hours, Adrien Hachey was found dead in a small body of water near the area where he reportedly disappeared from.

Hachey leaves behind his four young sons: Reid, who is the eldest at 16, 14-year-old Nathan, 11-year-old Alec, and Evan, who is the youngest at nine. He was a loving father who was out camping with his boys before he went missing and died an untimely death.

A GoFundMe page was set up by Carol Todd on behalf of the boys' grandparents, Rheal and Rose-Marie Hachey, to help cover a portion of the funding needed for the boys' education. According to Adrien Hachey's family:

"Adrien loved his boys deeply and would want to ensure their successful futures. Donated funds will be kept in trust by the boys' grandparents Rheal and Rose-Marie Hachey to cover a portion of what's needed for the boys' educations. Thank you for your consideration and generosity."

The fundraiser has raised an amount of more than $16,000 through 127 donations and is nearing the halfway mark of the stated goal of $50,000.
