My name is Jennifer Becker. My father passed away unexpectedly last night at Mayo Clinic. He received an aortic aneurysm and dissection replacement surgery. Everything went well until the end; not quite clear, but basically, we think his heart and lungs gave out. He was very scared for this surgery, but we all were hoping it was going to go fine. The doctors were very confident, but there is always risk, and his aneurysm was the biggest they had seen and operated on, being over a 12-hour surgery.

We need help financially. I'm not even sure how much, but anything will help to go towards giving him the burial he deserves. He doesn’t want to be cremated, and it would break my heart to cremate my dad for cost reasons, knowing he didn’t want to be. Please help us.
