It is with deep sadness that I share the unexpected passing of my dearest stepfather. His loss has left a profound void in our hearts, and we are still trying to come to terms with this painful reality.

He was more than just a stepfather — he was a guiding light, a source of strength, and a true parent in every way that matters.

He treated me like his own and played a huge role in shaping the person I am today. His kindness, sense of humor, and big heart touched the lives of everyone who knew him.

As our family copes with this sudden loss, we are also facing the financial strain of funeral and memorial costs. I’m humbly reaching out to friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers for support during this difficult time.

Funds raised will go directly toward:

* Funeral and burial expenses

* Memorial service arrangements

* Any outstanding final costs

Any donation, no matter the amount, will help ease the burden and allow us to give him the farewell he truly deserves. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page with others.

Thank you for your love, support, and prayers.

With love and gratitude,

Darlene M.
