Funeral for Sheldon (Ghost) Kingsley

Donation protected
As you all may be aware by now my Dad, Sheldon (aka Ghost) Kingsley, passed away suddenly on 12/31/2021. He battled with diabetes all of his life, and unfortunately was never able to receive the proper care he deserved.
 
My Dad was well known by so many people all over the U.S. He was known for his wild spirit and carefree personality. He lived life one day at a time, and every day was an adventure for him. He loved chasing the wind, and found the most peace on his motorcycle, and let me tell you when he rode... he rode hard. My Dad lived life on his terms and his terms only. I love hearing stories from all of his friends. My Dad could have written a book. Please continue to share your memories with me as I find comfort in it, and it helps to ease the pain just a little bit.
 
In addition to being wild and care free, he was also a very loyal man who was there for those he loved and cared for. My Dad was my rock and my best friend. He was the only man who knew exactly how to handle me. He was never afraid to tell me how he felt, but he was also gentle with me when I needed it. He would always tell me, "Baby girl, you aren't delicate like a flower, you're delicate like a bomb." Lol. I am my father's daughter and he knew exactly how to father me. He was always there for me when I needed him and for that I am forever grateful.
 
I was not prepared for his untimely death, which leads me here to all of you to ask for help, in hopes that I can give my Dad the proper services he deserves. I would like to be able to have a viewing for all his family and friends. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to say their final goodbyes, for their were so many people he loved and who loved him. The services costs $5k to start with, not including the urns and other additional costs, so any amount that you can donate will truly help. I can also accept donations via my Facebook Messenger, or Venmo @BeHappy312.
 
I love my Dad more than anything and want nothing more than to be able to give him the proper goodbye that he deserves. 
 
Thank you all so much for your generosity.
 
I love you, Dad.
Love, your baby girl.
