Help Us Honor Dad's Last Wish in Missouri

Help Fulfill My Dad’s Final Wishes: Bring Him Home to Missouri

Hello friends and family,

We are reaching out with heavy hearts during a difficult time. Our father passed away peacefully on his birthday, January 25, 2025, surrounded by family.

One of his final wishes is to be brought back to his hometown in Missouri, where he grew up and where his mother is buried. We want to honor that wish and bring him home to rest alongside her.

My family and I are doing our best to navigate this overwhelming experience, but the costs of flying him back, arranging his burial, and covering the associated expenses are more than we can manage on our own.

We are humbly asking for your help. Any contribution, no matter how small, will go directly toward fulfilling our dad’s final wish and bringing him home to Missouri, where he belongs. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this with others would mean the world to us as well. Any additional donations received will be used to assist Brianna in caring for their youngest four girls, ages 7-17, who will be returning home without their father.

Thank you so much for your love, support, and prayers during this incredibly hard time. Your kindness and generosity are deeply appreciated.

With heartfelt gratitude,

His children: Tyra, Hailley, Taylar, Jerry Wayne Jr., Gus, Valerie, Lylah, Ravanna, and Hazel

And his partner of 19 years, Brianna
