Hello Family and friends, I’m reaching out today to raise money to give our dad the proper memorial service. On September 2nd, 2021, me and my siblings got the call about our dads sudden passing. Though he served in the Navy, unfortunately there are not any benefits to help cover his memorial. Our dad was a musical genius, he played almost every instrument you can name. He played music by ear and passed his talent on to people whenever he could, including myself. He was a fighter, a lover, and a giver but most of all he was funny, and really cared for the people who were around him. He was feisty but he was fun and he knew how to make sure everyone had a good time. Eventually he started to slow down but one of the biggest things that always remained was music. He lived and breathed music. He expressed himself through music in ways that words couldn’t and he did it well. His wishes were to have a celebration of his life just like when he was alive, fun, loud and memorable, and he wishes to have his ashes scattered somewhere where music is always playing. He was a friend, a cousin, a brother, an uncle and so much more, but most importantly, he was our father. His passing has left a big hole in the heart of music, and a big hole in the hearts of his family. We really want to give him a proper military memorial and celebration of his life, but in order to do so, we have to raise  total amount of $2,500. We are grateful for any and all donations and wish nothing but positivity for all of you. Thank you so much.
