Help Us Lay Our Beloved Elijah “Lodge” to Rest

It is with broken hearts that we share the unexpected passing of our beloved son, Elijah, affectionately known as “Lodge.” At just 29 years old, our firstborn was taken from us far too soon. Lodge was more than a son — he was love in its purest form. His smile, his laughter, his presence filled every room. He was deeply loved by his family and everyone who had the blessing of knowing him. The hole his passing has left in our hearts is indescribable.

This loss was sudden and unimaginable. As we navigate this overwhelming grief, we are also facing the unexpected financial burden of funeral and memorial expenses. We were not financially prepared for something like this. We are humbly asking for any support you can give — whether through a donation or by sharing this page. Every contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly toward honoring Lodge with the beautiful farewell he deserves.

Most of all, we ask for your prayers, love, and strength as we try to learn how to live in a world without our precious Elijah. Thank you for standing with our family during this devastating time.

With love and gratitude,
April & Family
