My Brother-in-law passed away suddenly, the night of November 19th, 2024, in front of my sister, my niece, and my two nephews. My niece had to do CPR on her own father at the age of 15, no daughter should have to do that. The whole way he passed was sudden; even with his health issues, they were extremely optimistic about his recovery, he started doing well and then all of a sudden, he was gone. My sister, Lay’s wife and the mother of his 3 children, will appreciate any and all the help she can get in this horrible time.

I am making this GoFundMe to help raise funds for my sister, Jessica Siharaj, to be able to pay for a funeral for her husband and the father of their 3 children, Lay Siharaj. ALL money will go to my sister to be able to not only give her husband a funeral, but to also be able to care for her three kids due to her having to raise the kids without him. I don't want her to have to worry about money right now, when she needs to not only take care of their 3 children, but also grieve herself and help the kids go through their grieving process.

His name was Raymond Siharaj, everyone called him Lay.

He had a bright smile, a huge heart, and he was absolutely hilarious.

His wife, Jessica, and his children, were the LIGHT of his life and the center of his world. He loved them more than anything in the universe.

He also had an extreme love for cars and working on cars!

He leaves behind the love of his life, his wife that he married in February of 2008, Jessica Siharaj. He leaves behind his beautiful, smart, huge hearted, daddy's girl, Layla (15 years old). He leaves behind his two absolutely hilarious, extremely smart, huge hearted, adorable sons; Jaylin (12 years old) and Ryan (6 years old).

Please, help my sister in this horrible time of losing her husband in her arms and trying to save him. If you have anything at all to help go towards funeral costs and costs to just help her and the kids for a while, it is greatly appreciated.

ALL money donated to this cause, will go to my sister, Lay's wife, Jessica Siharaj, and will go to paying for his funeral and will go to helping her take care of their 3 kids for a while and pay their bills, seeing that there is nobody to help her now and there is no life insurance, so she truly has to figure everything out on her own. Everything is truly, greatly appreciated.

Giftcards to grocery stores, Walmart, Target, etc.. are also greatly appreciated for groceries for the kids. If you’d like to send a giftcard, my email is [email redacted] . com for if you’d like to send an e-gift card. Thank you everyone for your support in this extremely rough time.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPS, I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR HELPING MY FAMILY IN THIS TIME OF NEED.

ALL DONATIONS MADE ARE PROTECTED AND WILL BE PROVEN AS HAVING WENT TO JESSICA TO HELP GIVE LAY A FUNERAL AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR KIDS WHILE GRIEVING.
