Hi everyone,

Our hearts are heavy as we share that our dad recently passed away (6/17/25). While we are still trying to come to terms with the loss, our focus has now shifted to our mom—his wife of nearly 45 years, his best friend, and the person he loved more than anything.

In the middle of our grief, we received even more devastating news: his life insurance policy quietly lapsed at the end of last year without any of our knowledge. We had been counting on that support to help take care of our mom and set her up for the future, just as Dad had always intended.

We’re starting this GoFundMe to ask for help setting up a future for our mom—help with immediate expenses like recurring bills, and long-term support as she adjusts to life without my dad. Any amount, no matter how small, will make a difference and will go directly to making sure she’s taken care of the way our dad would have wanted.

If you’re able to give, share, or even send a kind word—thank you. It means more than we can say.
