With heavy hearts, we are sharing the unexpected passing of our beloved brother, who left us at just 28 years old. His death came suddenly and has shaken our entire family. No one ever prepares for a loss like this — emotionally or financially — and we are now faced with the overwhelming responsibility of arranging his mortuary services and burial while trying to process this traumatic event.

My brother was a genuinely kind and thoughtful soul. He had a cheerful spirit, an understanding heart, and was always willing to listen. After our father passed away 4 years ago, that really affected all of us and him even more, but he made it a priority to be there for our mom — offering her comfort, support, and companionship during one of the hardest seasons of our lives. Like many young men trying to find their way, he faced challenges. At times, he was around the wrong influences and was forced to spend periods of his life on the streets, even as our family tried to support him from afar. Despite those hardships, he was working toward independence and rebuilding his life. He had hopes. He had plans. He deserved more time.

This loss is devastating and unforeseen. We are asking for support to help cover funeral and burial expenses so we can lay him to rest with dignity and give our family the peace of mind to grieve without the added weight of financial strain. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly toward covering mortuary services, burial costs, and related expenses. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page with others would mean just as much to us. We are deeply grateful for your compassion, prayers, and support during this painful time. Thank you for helping us honor his life and memory. With sincere appreciation, Chris and Family
