My dad was a hardworking man who dedicated his life to building the High Desert and surrounding areas as a construction worker. He also served his country in the Navy, showing the same commitment and strength that he brought to every part of his life. He was known for his generosity, work ethic, and the love he had for his family and community.

Recently, my dad faced one of the toughest battles of his life: stage 4 medullary thyroid cancer that spread to his brain. Despite the odds, he fought bravely and showed incredible resilience. Sadly, after a courageous fight, he caught pneumonia, and his immune system was too weak to recover. He passed away surrounded by family in the ICU, leaving a legacy of love and strength.

We are raising funds to help cover his funeral expenses and memorial service, so we can honor his memory and give him the farewell he deserves. The family is thankful for all the help given in these difficult times. Any support, no matter how small, means the world to us as we navigate this loss and celebrate his life.
