Jude Tyler Roepke was born on October 5th,2019 and, sadly, left us on December 28th, 2019. He was almost 3 months old. He had to fight for his life months before and after he was born. He surprised us all so many times and he was such a strong little dude. In the end, his lungs were too sick and his little body couldn’t keep going. Our families are heart broken that we won’t have more time with this sweetlittle angel.

He was so loved by so many people and touched many people’s lives. His mom and dad (my sister and brother-in-law), Katie and Jake, have fought along side Jude every single step of the way. They loved him fiercely and always will. They have had to sacrifice so much over the last 6 months and put all of their energy into supporting Jude and their other two boys. 

Since Katie is a hair stylist, she has no paid time off and it’s been and will continue to be difficult to cover everything. To help them cover medical bills, funeral expenses, and all the time they have had to take off work, I am asking for any amount of financial donation you can offer. Anything big or small will help. 

Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive through this whole experience. It has really helped Katie and Jake and the rest of us. We love you!
