Funeral Expenses for Bj Charley
Donation protected
On May 3rd, 2019 I said goodbye to my best friend, the father of my child and the most amazing man I have ever known.
Unfortunately Bj passed away at the young age of 28 after battling an acute pancreatitis attack. He had been dealing with pancreatitis for 5 years and had a constant yo-yo of pain sometimes it was there and sometimes he could go even months without it.
We went into the ER as a family on Tuesday thinking he would just get some pain medicine, go home and eat soup for a few days and be fine.. but by Friday he was gone and we left that hospital with a piece missing and returned to an empty home.
He fought one hell of a fight and I made sure they did everything medically possible to try to save my soulmate. If you know Bj and me than you know we are literally one. Our differences were never too different, our arguments always ended in laughter and us making fun of the other. He was my big spoiled baby. Life with him was great and once we added our beautiful daughter to the mix it was amazing.
Bj was the most caring, devoted and amazing father. He and Sophia were best friends. He stayed home with her since she was born, never leaving her side for more than a few hours. They were inseparable, I would constantly have to tell him to tell her what to do because she only listened to her daddy. He taught her everything. Her first word was "dada" and his last words were "where's my baby". I am not only having to bury the love of my life but the first love of my daughters life. Sadly he didnt get to see her turn 3 this month, but I know he will be here with us for everything.
Nobody will ever be able to take his place and we will forever cherish him and the time that we had together. Our years together were the most meaningful time in our lives. I'll miss his sweet and warming smile, his contagious laughter, his extremely expressive faces, the feel of his embrace, the deep smooth sound of his voice and the comfort of his presence. He made me feel safe, loved and like I was the most important person in the world to him. He was there for me whenever I needed him and always helped guide not only me but his friends and family.
He is remembered by all as a person that you just wanted to be around, a magnetic energy that you couldn't help but be entranced by. He was smart as hell, and always knew the right thing to say. He knew how to push your buttons and make you think and then turn around and make you laugh.
In his memory I am asking for donations to help give him the farewell he deserves and for assistance in taking care of Sophia. I need to provide her with the necessary things she will need to cope while we adjust to this new normal whether that be counseling for the both of us or her alone. You all know how important she was to him and I promised him that I would take good care of her and make sure she is happy but I can't do it entirely alone as I also need to heal myself.
I thank everyone for all of the support and kind words, for all of the memories that have been shared and all the time many of you took to be there for him in the end. It spoke volumes as to who truly cared for him. Please remember Bj as who he was before his passing, a fighter, joker, leader, friend, father, nerd, stubborn, caring, and selfless person. He would never want to see anyone cry, so please smile in knowing that we got to know one hell of a person and we all have the best guardian angel we could ever ask for. Please stay in contact as we will need all the support we can get while we navigate this incredibly difficult time.
Thank you,
Malia & Sophia
