Hi, this is Kieran.

My father, Tommy, passed away unexpectedly this weekend, and our family is still trying to process both the loss and everything that follows it. We are currently in a difficult period of waiting while official processes are completed. In the meantime, we are trying to cover immediate expenses and prepare for what comes next, including memorial arrangements and travel for family.

My dad was a veteran, a son, a husband, a father, a brother, and someone who built deep connections with the people around him. He is survived by his parents, his children, his wife, and his siblings.

He loved the outdoors deeply. He found peace fishing, hiking, and being anywhere he could take in the beauty of the world. He especially loved sharing the places he explored, posting scenery from wherever his feet carried him. When he wasn’t hiking, he was probably fishing; and if you knew him, you know he could talk about both for hours.

If you’re able to contribute, it would mean a great deal to our family right now. And if not, the best way to honor him is simple: go to the water, walk a trail, step outside and take in the world for a moment.

Thank you for the support, in any form it comes.
