"We are devastated by the loss of Dale Hudson, electrician with our Milwaukee Brewery since 2008; Gene Levshetz, powerhouse operator with our Milwaukee Brewery since 2008; Jesse Valle Jr., powerhouse operator with our Milwaukee Brewery since 2014; Dana Walk, machinist with our Milwaukee Brewery since 2004; and Trevor Wetselaar, powerhouse operator with our Milwaukee Brewery since 2018. Our hearts break for their families," company officials said.

Organizers say the Miller Valley Survivors Fund was established to provide direct financial assistance to the family members of the deceased and others directly affected. The priority is to give the victim’s families the long-term help and support they’ll need in the years ahead.

Company officials said Molson Coors does not own or control the fund or its distributions, and that it's managed by the National Compassion Fund--a program of the National Center for Victims of Crime.
