It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of a man who meant more than words can ever express to so many of us. To me, he was like a father—steady, selfless, and always showing up when it mattered most.

He spent his life giving back to his community. Whether it was helping the homeless, opening his heart and resources to those in need, or opening a sober living house to help addicts get clean in honor of his son, Bailey, who tragically passed on 12/4/2020—he lived for others. Losing Bailey changed him forever. A piece of his heart broke that day, and over the past five years he tried with everything he had to keep moving forward, to stay strong for his family, and to honor his son’s memory.

He was the breadwinner for his family, but this past year brought increasing financial struggles that weighed heavily on him. Despite this, he never stopped giving, loving, or putting others first.

We are asking for support now to help ease the burden on the family he loved so deeply. All funds raised will go directly toward:

His final resting and memorial expenses

Supporting his living son, Dakota

Paying remaining household bills

Helping the family navigate this incredibly difficult time without the added weight of financial stress

Any donation, share, or prayer is deeply appreciated. If you knew him, you know how much he would give without hesitation. If you didn’t, please know that your kindness will help carry forward the love and generosity he showed the world every day.

Thank you for honoring his life, his heart, and his legacy.
