Tony has been such a deeply loved presence in our lives - as a musician, an audio engineer widely known as one of Chicago’s favorites, a friend, a partner, and someone who has left a lasting mark on everyone who knows him.

Right now, he is still here with us, and our focus is on keeping him comfortable, supported, and surrounded by love. At the same time, we are beginning to prepare for what may come, so that when the time arrives, we can focus on being present with him rather than navigating financial stress.

We’ve created this fundraiser to help cover anticipated end-of-life and memorial expenses. It’s not easy to ask for support in a moment like this, but so many people have encouraged us to open the door and allow our community to show up.

If you feel moved to contribute, it will go directly toward giving Tony the most gentle, dignified care and goodbye possible.

If you’re not in a place to give, sharing this or simply keeping Tony in your thoughts means just as much.

Thank you for caring about him, and for caring about us.
