Assist with Dad's Final Journey and Memorial

We are heartbroken to share that our beloved dad passed away peacefully in his sleep. His passing was unexpected and has left us with a deep sense of loss.

Our dad was a gentle, soft-spoken man with a kind heart. He was easygoing and carried a quiet strength that we’ll never forget. While each of us shared different relationships and memories with him, we all loved him dearly and are cherishing the time we had together.

We were not prepared for this. Emotionally or financially. Like many families, we didn’t expect to be making these kinds of decisions so soon, and we’re doing our best to navigate the unknown while honoring our dad in the most loving way possible.

It is our hope to bring him home to California from Oklahoma and lay him to rest near his mom and dad but we also know that may not be fully possible depending on what we’re able to raise. Still, it is our heartfelt goal, and we are holding on to faith and the kindness of others to help us get as close to that as we can.

We are humbly asking for help to cover:

• Transportation costs to bring him back to California (if possible)

• Funeral or cremation services

• Memorial arrangements and related expenses

Any contribution, no matter the amount, helps lighten the burden during this painful time. If you’re unable to give through GoFundMe, we also welcome direct support via Venmo:
