On Monday, December 22, 2025, my world changed forever. My son, just 31 years old, was crossing Preston Highway with a friend when he was struck by an SUV and killed. He had so much life left to live, and losing him so suddenly is something I never could have prepared for. There were no plans in place for something like this to happen to someone so young, and the shock has left me heartbroken and overwhelmed.

I have always been someone who tries to handle things on my own, and asking for help is not easy for me. But after trying everything I could, friends and family encouraged me to turn to GoFundMe. With a heavy heart, I am reaching out for support to help give my son the funeral and memorial service he deserves. He was not a bad man—he always held a job, loved life, and was raised in a good home. He shouldn’t have had to leave this world the way he did, but I trust that God has plans for him elsewhere.

If you know me or can imagine the pain of losing a child, you understand how difficult this is. I would greatly appreciate any help if you’re willing to open your heart and contribute to my son’s funeral and burial expenses. My prayers go out to you and your families, and I hope you never have to experience a loss like this. Thank you for reading my son’s story. God bless.
