On May 22, 2024, my father Jeff Pickett passed away unexpectedly. The past year has been difficult for him after losing his place to live and he had a hard time with finding work so his financial circumstances were not ideal leaving debt after his passing. His storage unit is past due that houses my grandfather's ashes, as well as important and valuable family mementos that are all I have left of my father and his family. Family has been able to help with some of the costs for cremation, but I would like to be able to host a celebration of life and service for my father to remember his legacy and his time here on earth. He wasn't perfect, but he was my dad and I want him to be laid to rest properly and his affairs taken care of. I have had to take time off recently for my daughter as well as my dad's passing and have been struggling to make ends meet for my family of four. All of my dad's debts and financial obligations have been left to me, as the next of kin, putting me in an even worse spot financially during this time of loss and grieving. I have been struggling, as well as Brandy, to come to terms with what all of this means for our family and our financial stability. I have had some health problems this last year as well. If I learned one thing from my dad, it's that no matter what pick your shit up and keep going because you are a Pickett, and that's what we do. I no longer have my best friend or father to call when I need help, so I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer during this time for my family and myself. Thank you so much for your time reading this, and for any donations that you are able to make. If unable to donate, please share and spread the word.
