With heavy hearts, our family is preparing to lay our beloved husband, father, and grandpa to rest. In 2004, after receiving a lung transplant, doctors gave him a maximum of 8 years to live. By God’s grace, he surpassed every expectation and blessed us with 21 years — years filled with strength, faith, and love.

Throughout his journey, my mom stood by his side, and my three brothers and I watched him defy the odds time and time again. There were many moments we were told to prepare for goodbye, only to witness him rise again — a true testament to God’s mercy and miracles.

Even when doctors told us in November 2022 that he had only weeks left, he pushed forward and gave us 3 more meaningful years. He lived to see me get married and meet his granddaughter — moments we will forever hold close to our hearts.

As a family, we are now facing the emotional and financial weight of honoring his life and saying our final goodbyes. We are humbly asking for any support to help cover funeral and memorial expenses. Every donation, no matter the size, will help ease this burden for my mom and our family as we grieve and celebrate his life.

If you are unable to donate, we kindly ask that you share this page and keep our family in your prayers. Thank you for your love, kindness, and support during this incredibly difficult time
