Dear family and friends,

It is with heavy-hearts that we announce the passing of a very special person that meant the world to our entire family, Arthur Edward Guard. He was the best Husband, Dad, and Papol that any family could ever ask for. Eddie brought an unwavering support and was the rock that kept all of us steady. Words can't explain the emotions we are all feeling as we process this loss. Eddie will be so deeply missed and we will all cherish every moment we've shared with him.

As we are coming to terms with Eddie's passing, we are faced with the difficult task of arranging his final farewell. We want to ensure that Eddie has the heart-felt send off that he deserves as he transitions to reside with Jesus. Unfortunately, we have been faced with a financial expense for the funeral services that has put our family into a position of financial stress.

We are reaching out to our community of family, friends, and kind-hearted strangers for support in honoring our Eddie's memory. Any contribution (no matter how small) will help our family give the service that Eddie deserves. We need help covering the expenses of the burial, funeral service, and burial plot for our beloved Eddie. For those of you who knew Eddie, he was always the shoulder you can cry on, the ear that would listen without judgement, and the heart that you could always rely on. There are no words that can be said as to the hole in our hearts with his passing.

Any thoughts and prayers for our family as we go through this difficult time would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to everyone for your support. Together, we can give Eddie the farewell he deserves.

Thanks for your compassion and generosity. We will miss our Papol forever.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Guard Family
