My dad, Robert Waade Jr. has had a long, hard, and unexpected battle with kidney failure for the past 3 years. God had blessed my family with 3 more years with my dad, but today we are deeply saddened to announce that my dad has finally chosen to stop his dialysis as he had gotten diagnosed with calciphylaxis and it’s fatal. He has decided it is too hard on his body to live like this any longer.

I’m asking for help and support as this has been extremely hard on my family as we grieve. My mom (his wife), Nanci, and his mom, Iris, will need to take some time off of work and I don’t want them to have to worry about unpaid bills and medical expenses during this difficult time.

Right now, we are in the process of planning my dads memorial and he wanted to be cremated so all of the expenses would go to that as well as helping my family get through with bills for the next month.

We ask for lots of love and prayers during this extremely difficult time. Thank you for donating it means the world to my family.
