Dr. Melanie Sage passed away in Mexico on May 15, 2026, after complications from surgery and four days of ICU care.
Their spouse, Todd Sage, shared that Melanie brought people together through work, friendships, conferences, classrooms, coffee shops, and travel.
Todd described a generous person who welcomed others into their home, including Kris, Justine, Skylar, and Jacob, with plans to welcome Skylar's sister, Alicia.
A memorial fundraiser organized by Laurel Hitchcock and Todd Sage had raised $4,039 of a $45K goal through 24 donations as of Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 23:33 UTC.
The fund supports urgent ICU and return-home costs while the family works through insurance uncertainty and legal arrangements to bring Melanie home to the States.
Memorial service details and funeral arrangements will be announced later by family members.
