On New Year’s Day, our family experienced an unimaginable loss. My beloved brother, David Valentine, passed away suddenly, leaving behind a pain that words can barely hold. A new year that was meant to bring hope instead brought heartbreak, shock, and a silence that feels impossible to accept.

David was more than a brother he was a father, a protector, a source of love and strength for his three children, who were his entire world. Everything he did, every sacrifice he made, was for them. Now, they are left facing life without their dad their guide, their comfort, their safe place.

Nothing prepares a family for a loss this sudden. Along with the overwhelming grief, we are now trying to make sure David’s children are supported, protected, and cared for during the most painful time of their lives. They deserve stability, love, and the chance to heal without the added burden of financial stress.

We are asking for help from anyone who is able to give whether it’s a donation, a share, or a prayer. Every contribution will go directly toward supporting David’s children and helping provide for their needs as they navigate this devastating loss.

If you knew David, you know how big his heart was. If you didn’t, please know this: he was deeply loved, and his children are a living part of him that we are determined to protect.

Thank you for your kindness, your compassion, and for helping us honor David’s memory by showing up for the three beautiful lives he left behind.
