Family and Friends,

My name is Mandie, and I am TJ’s sister. I’m reaching out on behalf of his beloved children, Isaiah and Dezzy.

Many of you have already heard the devastating news of TJ’s passing while celebrating his 45th birthday in Colombia. Our hearts are shattered. TJ had a way of lighting up every room—he never met a stranger and could make anyone laugh with his warmth and humor.

While we’re still waiting for answers and clarity around the circumstances of his passing, one thing is painfully clear: the financial burden of bringing TJ home is significant and unexpected. We are humbly asking for your support during this incredibly difficult time.

All donations will go directly toward the costs of transporting TJ home, honoring him with a celebration of life, and anything remaining will be given to his children, Isaiah and Dezzy, to support them in the days ahead.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and love. It means more than words can express.

With gratitude,

Mandie
