My name is Crystal, and I’m raising funds to cover the funeral and cremation expenses for my father, Tim. Tim was a jolly, caring, and fun-loving soul who always surrounded himself with family—chosen or not. He made every holiday special, and I know the 4th of July and Thanksgiving will never be the same without him. Tim was sensitive and kind-hearted, but he also struggled with his own guilt and demons. Despite his challenges, he always tried to bring joy and comfort to those around him.

Tim’s passing was sudden and left our family unprepared, both emotionally and financially. My grandmother has been his sole support for the past five years while he waited for a disability settlement that, sadly, never came due to his quick passing. He received his diagnosis in early May and left us on June 3rd. The costs of his funeral and cremation are more than we can manage alone, and we’re reaching out for help during this difficult time.

All funds raised will go directly toward my father’s funeral expenses. If there is anything left over, it will help support my grandmother as she navigates this loss. In the future, I hope to create a piece of jewelry with some of his ashes for our family, but right now, our priority is giving Tim the respectful farewell he deserves. Any support, no matter the amount, means so much to us. Thank you for helping us honor Tim’s memory and support our family.
