Help Us Honor Stephen's Memory

Help Me Give My Dad the Memorial He Deserves

Hi, my name is Ashlee, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart. Our dad, Stephen, recently passed away after a long battle with his health. He was the rock of our family — a proud father to three daughters (Michelle, Tiffinee, and me), and a loving grandpa to his grandkids, Jason and Mackenze especially my son Mikeol and my daughter Janet, who absolutely adored him.

My sister Tiffinee and I are both single mothers of two, and this past year has been extremely difficult — emotionally, physically, and financially. We’ve taken a lot of time off work to help care for our dad in his final months, and now we’re doing everything we can to give him the peaceful, respectful goodbye he deserves. But the costs of burial and memorial services are more than we can manage on our own right now.

We are asking for help to raise the funds needed to lay our dad to rest with the dignity and love he deserves. He helped raise his grandchildren, supported us through thick and thin, and never hesitated to be there for his family and friends. We want to honor his life and legacy in the way he deserves.

Your support will go directly toward:

Funeral and burial expenses

Memorial service arrangements

Final costs and necessities for honoring his memory


No amount is too small, and every share, every donation, and every kind word means the world to us. My dad touched so many lives, and this is one way we can come together as a community to give back some of the love he gave so freely.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting our family during this incredibly hard time.

With love and gratitude,
Ashlee
