On Nov 2nd 2025, our world changed forever. An intoxicated driver, speeding over 100 miles per hour with no headlights on, ran a red light at West Orem Drive and Almeda Road. The crash involved five vehicles and took three innocent lives. One being my brother. He was only 23 years old. All he was trying to do was come home, just two streets away. He never made it back. His life, his laughter, his future, all stolen in a single moment
My brother was the funnest person you’d ever meet. He could make anyone laugh, no matter how bad their day was. He had this energy that filled every room, and a heart that was just as big. He always found a way to bring joy, even on the hardest days. He was loved by everyone who knew him, and he had so many dreams ahead of him that he’ll never get the chance to fulfill.
Now, instead of hearing his laugh or seeing his smile, our family is left planning a funeral no one should ever have to plan. No mother should ever have to bury her child. No big sister should have to write these words for her baby brother.
We don’t have the funds to give him the funeral he deserves. We’re asking for help, from anyone who can, to help us lay him to rest with the dignity and love he gave to everyone around him. Any donation, big or small, means the world to us. If you can’t donate, please share this page to help us keep his memory alive.
Thank you for your compassion, your prayers, and for standing with our family in this time that we so desperately need.
