Honoring Our Father: Help Us Lay Him to Rest and Support His Family

With heavy hearts, we are raising funds to honor and lay to rest our beloved father, who silently battled chronic diabetes and severe depression. Though he never showed signs of suicidal thoughts, he was found at home on July 13. His passing has left our entire family devastated.

He leaves behind a loving wife and three children in Sacramento. His daughter, who shared a deep bond with him, is heartbroken. His older son is doing his best to keep the family strong. His youngest son, only ten years old, is still trying to understand why his dad is no longer here.

Our father was a kind and humble man who gave everything he had to the people he loved. Though he made his home in California, his heart never left Minnesota, where his mother and brothers are laid to rest. It is our deepest wish to bring him there so he can be reunited with them.

We were not prepared for this unimaginable loss or the funeral expenses that come with it. Any support you can offer, whether through donations, kind words, or by sharing this message, will help ease the burden on his grieving family during this heartbreaking time. All funds will be used for the funeral expenses.

Thank you for keeping his family in your thoughts and holding them in your heart.
