Honor Tez's Memory: Support Funeral Costs
Donation protected
My name is Kassidy, and I’m organizing this GoFundMe on behalf of my dear friend Tez, who tragically passed away far too soon.
Tez was one of those rare people you never forget—flawed, real, full of energy and dreams. He had a heart that stayed loyal through the hardest times, and no matter what life threw at him, he always found a way to smile and talk about the future. We spoke often, multiple times a week, and were actively planning his move to Texas to start fresh and build a peaceful life on some land—something he was truly excited about.
Sadly, that dream was taken from him.
Over the years, Tez trusted me deeply. While he was gone, he asked me to help keep his dog breeding program alive. He sent me his beloved dog, Mya de Exotic, and I made it my mission to honor that trust and carry on his vision.
Now, I want to honor him one more time—by helping ensure he gets the proper goodbye he deserves.
This fundraiser is to assist with funeral and memorial expenses. His passing was sudden, and the financial burden has hit his loved ones hard. Every dollar raised will go directly toward giving Tez the farewell he never got a chance to plan for, but absolutely deserves.
In addition to the GoFundMe, we will also be making four of his dogs available for sale, with all proceeds going toward funeral costs. These dogs meant the world to him and are a reflection of his hard work and dedication:
• Kira
• Don Logan
• Hyna
• Ari – (Logan x Hyna female puppy)
If you knew Tez—if he made you laugh, inspired you, or simply left a memory—you already know he was one of a kind. If you’re able to contribute or share, it would mean the world. Your support—whether through donation, sharing, or helping find the right homes for his dogs—will help us honor his life and legacy the way he truly deserved.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
