Our families are heartbroken to share the passing of our beloved dad after a devastating and unexpected battle with cancer.

Just weeks ago, he was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer that had already spread to his liver. Before we even had time to process the diagnosis, he was hospitalized due to kidney failure caused by severe dehydration. Everything happened so quickly, and we lost him far too soon.

Our dad meant everything to us. He was loving, supportive, hardworking, and the steady foundation of our family. Watching his health decline so rapidly has been incredibly painful—but now, we are doing everything we can to honor his memory and support our mom through this unimaginable loss.

We are raising funds to help ease the financial burden on our mom—covering unexpected medical costs, memorial expenses, and helping her navigate the road ahead without him. Any contribution, no matter the amount, would mean so much to us during this time.

In honoring our father’s wishes, we will be holding a private celebration of life with close family. We thank everyone for their love and understanding.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page with friends, family, and your community would also be a great help.

Thank you for the kindness and support being shown to our family during this time. We know our dad would be deeply touched.

— With love,

The Ferris Family & The McLaughlin Family
