Our family is heartbroken to share that Baby Michael passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at just 10 weeks old.

Michael was a happy, cherubic little soul. He was a bright light who brought endless joy to everyone who met him. He was such a good baby, peaceful and full of personality. He loved watching his mom sing karaoke, bouncing in his BabyBjorn and was starting to perfect blowing raspberries. Even in his short time here, he filled every room with laughter, warmth, and love.

His mother, Stephanie, surrounded Michael with love and tenderness every single day of his life. As she faces the unimaginable loss of her baby, our family wants to help lift some of the weight from her shoulders.

I’m organizing this GoFundMe to help cover the costs of Michael’s cremation, a beautiful urn, and a celebration of life filled with family, friends, food, and love. It will be a day to honor the joy he brought to all of us. It will also help Stephanie take time off work to grieve, rest, and heal with the support of her loved ones and friends who deeply love Baby Michael.

If you feel called to contribute, any amount will make a difference. All donations will go directly to Stephanie to cover funeral expenses and essential living costs during this incredibly painful time.

Thank you for helping us honor Baby Michael’s memory and showing Stephanie that she is not alone in her grief. Your kindness and compassion mean more than words can express.
