Friends and Family- we cannot thank you enough for the generous donations you have already made to helping us get our dad back to Leavenworth for a proper Military Honors Funeral.

We have updated the goal amount as we just received the final invoice from the funeral home who is picking him up from the airport and transporting him to Leavenworth.

His memorial is currently scheduled for Thursday at 1230 and we would love to see all of you there. For many of you- it’s been way too long.

On March 31st at 3:35 AM, our beloved father, Bobby, peacefully passed away after a long and courageous battle with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency — a condition he fought for 19 years. While we knew this day would eventually come, nothing could prepare us for the heartache of losing him so soon.

Bobby proudly served our country in the U.S. Navy, and now we want to honor his life by laying him to rest at the Leavenworth National Cemetery — a place he deserves for his service and sacrifice.

Unfortunately, the financial burden of transporting him and covering the costs of burial and final arrangements has fallen unexpectedly on our family.

If you knew our dad, you know he would've done everything in his power to make sure his family didn't have to carry this weight. He was a giver, a fighter, and someone who took care of others without hesitation.

Now, we are asking for help to take care of him — one last time.

Anything you can give will mean the world to us, and every dollar helps us get one step closer to giving our dad the farewell he deserves.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

— The Family of Bobby
