Help! Memorial for Voltaire "Erick" Ira

We are writing on behalf of Voltaire "Erick" Ira, also known as "Pops," who recently lost his battle with stage IV Esophageal Cancer.

Erick was diagnosed in early 2018. In the following years, he underwent radiation & chemotherapy. After his diagnosis, his life insurance was approved in 2021 with a contingency that he would continue the policy for an additional two years to be eligible for coverage. Sadly, his cancer spread to his lungs, left eye, and heart, and the additional months were not met. After pushing mentally and physically for almost five miraculous years, God called him home to rest. Erick played his last hand on Jan 2 and gracefully took his place in the clouds.

As we prepare for the burial, we didn't anticipate the financial strain. This would be to raise so much money in a short amount of time and are asking our village for help for another miracle. Any donation to our family would be greatly appreciated and go towards the funeral and burial expenses.

On behalf of Voltaire, his close family and friends, we appreciate the outpouring of love, prayers, and support shown over the past few days and undoubtedly, in the months to come and leave you with this,

"It's time for my journey home, a beautiful and peaceful journey I must take alone. So just be strong and keep a smile. We'll only be apart for a little while. The love I've known is a very special part. The love I've shown came straight from the heart."

Sincerely

The Voltaire "Erick" Ira Family
