Keep the Jeep: Honoring Ray's Legacy

My dad, Ray, was a man who could fix almost anything. As a kid, he learned by taking apart old boats and cars at my great-grandpa's house on Hillside. He spent his life building, repairing, and improving things with his hands—it was who he was.

A few years ago, he decided to pursue a lifelong dream: customizing his own Jeep and taking it on adventures. True to form, he didn't just buy one—he made it his own. He spent countless hours working on it, improving every detail, turning it into something truly special that reflected his creativity, his skill, and his love of adventure.

Sadly, my dad passed away unexpectedly, and his dream of enjoying that Jeep for many years to come was cut short. But this Jeep means so much to our family—it represents who he was and everything he poured into it.

There is still about $25,000 owed on the Jeep, and my mom is unable to cover the payments on her own. We're hoping to raise funds to help with the payments and keep this piece of my dad's legacy in our family. Whether you can contribute or simply share our story, we are deeply grateful for your support as we work to preserve something my dad loved and continue the adventures he dreamed about.

Every donation, no matter the size, means the world to us. Thank you for helping us honor Ray's memory.
