** Update: Thank you so much for all the love and support that our family has received so far in this difficult time. We had to act fast, we unfortunately won’t be having an open casket but we will be having a memorial service for him soon. As many of you may know, EJ Was our financial rock and things things are about get a whole lot tougher. Any further donations will be used for the rest of his memorials costs and to support our children in this time of need. Thank you all again. 

EJ was a great man and an even better father. His entire world revolved around our two boys, Elliott and Taeven. He loved playing basketball with our kids and friends. He had a wonderful personality and made an impact on those he interacted with daily. Ej had big dreams, and I planned to help him pursue them once we got into a better situation. Since the pandemic, we have been trying to get back on our feet. Things have been tough for our family for a while now. Unfortunately, EJ had some health issues, and they got the best of him this past Monday night and he passed away. My entire family is taking this particularly hard because he has been a part of our family for so many years, but it is impacting our boys the hardest. This doesn't even feel real, I'm still waiting for him to come home and tell me about his day, give the boys hugs, and hop on the PS4 with Elliott :/ I'm asking for anything at all that can be spared to go towards his funeral. I want to try my best to have an open casket to allow us and mainly our two sons to get some sort of closure. Anything will be appreciated, even just prayers. I want to say thank you in advance.

R.I.P EJ, a loving father and a wonderful man. Watch over our boys <3
