My dad, Richard Temple, has been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. This news has been devastating to our family, but if you know my dad, you know he’s facing it with the same strength, heart, and humor he’s always brought into the lives of everyone around him.

To know Richard is to never forget him. He has a way of lighting up any room with his laughter, kindness, and genuine love for people. Whether you know him as a devoted father, the world’s best “Pops” to his grandchildren, or a loyal friend who’d give you the shirt off his back—he’s someone who leaves an unforgettable mark on your heart.

This GoFundMe will help cover the growing medical expenses, travel to and from treatments, and the compassionate end-of-life care he deserves. Our goal is to ease the financial burden so he can focus on comfort, quality time with loved ones, and making the most of each day.

If you’re able to donate, our family would be deeply grateful. If you can’t, we ask that you please share this page and keep Richard in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

My dad got his biopsy done on 7/31/2025 and the results came back that if he doesn’t do treatment, he would have less than 3 months to live. With treatment, he has anywhere from 9-12 months to live. My dad is deciding to fight and I just hope with everything in me that he beats all odds.
