Our family recently experienced the unexpected loss of our dad/papa, and we are still trying to navigate life without him here. If you knew him, you knew how much he loved being around people, BBQs, music blasting in the garage, sports on TV, and just “hanging out, having fun.” He was the kind of person who would show up for anyone without hesitation and always made people feel welcome. He was a loving father, grandfather, brother, friend and longtime partner to his girlfriend Amber. His loss has left a huge impact on everyone who knew and loved him. We created this GoFundMe to help cover celebration of life expenses and other immediate costs our family is facing during this difficult transition. Any contribution, no matter the amount, is deeply appreciated and will go directly toward honoring him and helping our family manage expenses during this time. We are incredibly grateful for all the love, support, messages, and memories that have been shared with us already. Thank you for thinking of our family and helping us celebrate the life of someone who meant so much to so many people.
