I’m deeply saddened to share that my dad unexpectedly passed away on Saturday, January 11, 2025. He had been outside shoveling the driveway, sidewalks, clearing a path for my mom to take out the trash, cleaning off their cars, and even making sure his little buddy AJ had a spot to go to the bathroom. After coming inside to warm up and enjoy a cup of coffee, he suddenly collapsed from a massive coronary heart attack. My dad passed away doing what he did best—taking care of others, especially my mom.

Sadly, because this loss came so suddenly, we were not prepared.

So many people have reached out asking what they can do to help. This fund is the answer to that question as there are considerable cost for the funeral arrangements. Since my dad was the primary provider for the family, this support could really help my mom. In light of this, I’m reaching out to friends and family who may be able to offer support—whether financially or in other ways that could help us navigate this incredibly challenging time. Any contribution, no matter how small, would make a world of difference as we work through this loss.

I truly appreciate your consideration and understand if this is not something you are able to do. Thank you for your love, support, and kindness during this heartbreaking time.
