Help the Filips Family After Tragic Loss

A Plea to Support the Filips Family in Their Time of Tragedy

It is with profound heartbreak that we share the devastating loss of Rick Filips, who passed away unexpectedly on Friday, January 17th, at the age of just 44. Rick was the heart of his family—a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Katie, and a loving, hands-on father to their four young children, ages 10, 9, 7, and 5.

This tragedy has shattered their world. Rick’s sudden passing has left Katie and their children reeling from unimaginable grief, struggling to comprehend a life without him. Katie, who has dedicated herself entirely to raising their children as a stay-at-home mom, now faces the unthinkable challenge of moving forward without her partner, her best friend, and the father of her children.

This young family has been left with an aching void that can never be filled. While we cannot ease the pain of their loss, we can come together to help lift some of the financial burden they now face. Any contribution, no matter how small, will provide Katie and the children with a lifeline during this time of unspeakable sorrow.

Please consider helping this grieving family as they begin to navigate a future they never imagined. Your support will allow Katie to focus on her children, who need her now more than ever, as they try to find a way to heal from this tragedy.

Rick was deeply loved by all who knew him, and his loss is a reminder of how fragile and precious life is. Your prayers, love, and generosity will mean the world to this family as they endure the darkest days of their lives.

Thank you for your kindness and for holding the Filips family in your hearts.
