With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Avram Stanchev.

Avram was a beloved son, friend, and a light in the lives of so many. His kindness, humor, and love touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He had a way of making people feel seen, valued, and understood, always offering a helping hand, a listening ear, or a smile that could brighten even the darkest days.

His presence was a gift whether through his laughter, his unwavering support for those he cared about, or the countless memories he created with family and friends. Avram left us far too soon, and his passing has created an irreplaceable void in our hearts. While words cannot fully capture the depth of our sorrow, we take comfort in the love he shared and the impact he made on so many lives.

As we navigate this profound loss, we want to honor Avram’s memory in the best way possible. Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers. We will share details about his memorial service soon.

We have set up a GoFundMe to help with funeral arrangements and unexpected expenses during this difficult time. If you feel moved to contribute or share, we deeply appreciate your kindness and support.
