hello, my name is Gia, and I'm raising funds to honor and lay my dad to rest.

my dad passed away on December 15 after a long and incredibly brave medical journey that began in 2012. over the years, he endured medical brain surgeries, extensive rehabilitation, and unimaginable physical challenges, including paralysis on one side of his body. he fought every step of the way with strength, resilience, and heart.

before his illness, my dad was a dedicated SWAT officer - strong, fearless, and deeply committed to protecting and serving others. beyond his career, he was a man full of of life: endlessly creative, passionate about art and music, and someone who truly knew how to live. every resource he had ultimately went toward his medical care, and we are now navigating the costs of his memorial services.

he is survived by his three children and is finally at rest with his son.

we are humbly asking for support to help cover funeral and memorial expenses. any contribution, or simply sharing this page, means more to our family than words can express. thank you for helping us honor his life and legacy. it is appreciated from the bottom of our hearts :-)
