On September 23rd, we lost my dad unexpectedly due to his battle with CNS Lymphoma. Our family and his friends are devasted by this sudden loss and miss him deeply. We want to give my dad the memorial he deserves to honor his memory and say our final goodbyes.

My dad, also known as "Charlie Charles" (long story), was the goofiest, most hardworking, supportive man I've ever known. He was truly the life of the party, always chatting with anyone and everyone, cracking the best dad jokes. He supported my little sister Michala and I through every part of our life thus far, and has always wanted us to succeed more than anything, and has sacrificed greatly for us. Truly the best dad ever.

I am creating this GoFundMe to help our family with cremation costs, memorial arrangements, and family expenses.

Any contribution, no matter how small, will help our family during this difficult time. Even if you cannot donate, we would be incredibly grateful if you would share this fundraiser. Thank you for your compassion and generosity.
