On October 19, 2026, we lost our dear friend Rene in a tragic car accident. Rene was a loving husband and the kind of friend everyone hopes to have: loyal, generous, and always there when you needed him.

He was happiest on his bike, chasing the next ride, and exploring the world side by side with his wife, Brenda. Their travels together were some of his greatest joys, and those memories will be treasured forever.

His sudden passing has left Brenda and all of us who loved him heartbroken. Rene was also the main provider for their household, and losing him means Brenda now faces not only unimaginable grief but real financial uncertainty.

This fundraiser was created to help with funeral and memorial expenses and to support Brenda as she adjusts to life without her beloved husband. Your gifts will help cover day-to-day living costs during this transition, so she can take the time she needs to grieve and heal without the added weight of financial stress.

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference. If you're unable to give, sharing this page and keeping Brenda in your thoughts and prayers means just as much.

Thank you for loving Rene with us. Ride on, friend.
