Holly and Carter have suffered an unimaginable loss with the passing of Holly's husband and Carter's dad, TJ. TJ passed away peacefully on January 15th in Colorado with his wife, Holly, and son, Carter by his side. Tj was fun loving, life living, enthusiast of everthing good! And he lived life to the fullest! But above it all, his passion was his family. Holly, who he often referred to as his "Nugget" or "Beautiful Bride" was his gem. Carter, his only son, was TJ's pride and joy. They were best friends in every sense. TJ adored his mother, Omi, and recently spent time living with her helping her rehab after a knee replacement at the age of 86. TJ was bigger than life and his absence will impact everyone who knew him and will be felt forever.

It's unbelievable, but not surprising, the amount of love and support that has come in for Holly in this short time. After receiving numerous requests for where to send donations to help with the burden of the astronomical medical expenses, we felt it was the safest to set up a GoFundMe. Holly would be SO opposed to this....I can hear her now! (Sorry Holly, I didn't want to do it!). Knowing Holly, she will pay it forward to a cause that is near and dear to her, Carter and TJ's big heart. That's just who Holly is and why we all love the Jaenichen Family!!

God bless you, TJ! We've got your little "Nugget" and "best buddy"! Now get busy exploring all the new trails and ski slopes up there!!
