Hello, my name is Ethan, and my siblings and I are reaching out with heavy hearts following the passing of our beloved father.

Our dad was an incredible man—one who turned his own struggles into strength and dedicated his life to helping others do the same. As a drug and alcohol counselor, he gave countless people hope, guidance, and a second chance at life. His compassion, wisdom, and relentless commitment to change touched the lives of everyone he met.

We’re creating this fundraiser to give him the send-off he truly deserves. Our goal is to raise enough to provide a proper burial and hold a memorial service large enough to honor the community he helped build. We want to celebrate his life with all the people whose lives he impacted, and give everyone a chance to say goodbye and share in our mourning and remembrance.

Any contribution—no matter how small—will go directly toward funeral expenses and memorial arrangements. If you aren’t able to give, we’d still love for you to share this with others who knew and loved him.

Thank you for your support during this difficult time. We are deeply grateful.

With love,

Ethan and family
