I’m creating this fundraiser after the sudden and devastating loss of my boyfriend, Biscuit (Dave) who passed away unexpectedly from cardiac arrest. His death was completely unexpected, and nothing prepares you for losing someone you love without warning. One moment we were living our normal life, and the next everything stopped. I’m still trying to process what happened, and most days don’t feel real. There wasn’t time to prepare emotionally or financially, and now I’m left navigating intense grief while also handling arrangements and expenses I never imagined having to face.

He was someone who mattered deeply to me and to many others, and his absence is felt in ways that are hard to explain unless you’ve experienced this kind of loss. His closest relationships were his friends, which he viewed as family. He built a huge, beautiful soul family through love, loyalty, and connection, and the depth of that loss is being felt by so many people right now. The quiet is different. The future looks different. Every plan we had instantly disappeared, and I’m learning how to exist in a world that suddenly feels unfamiliar.

This fundraiser is to help cover funeral and related costs, as well as immediate expenses during this time. Asking for help is not easy, but the weight of everything right now is heavy, and any support helps more than I can put into words.

If you’re able to donate or share this, thank you. And if you can’t, even taking a moment to think of him or keep us in your thoughts means something. We’re just trying to take this one day, one breath at a time.

Funeral arrangements have not yet been put in place, so the goal may be adjusted depending on the costs.
