There are no words big enough for a loss like this. My heart is with you as you grieve the sudden loss of your beautiful grandson — your son in every way that truly matters. You loved him, raised him, protected him, and gave him a life filled with family and care from the time he was just two months old.

The fact that May 9th should have been his 18th birthday makes this heartbreak even harder to comprehend. I hope you can feel how many people are holding you in their hearts right now, surrounding you with love, strength, and support through this unimaginable pain.

May his memory always live on in the countless moments of love, laughter, and joy you shared together. Thinking of you all deeply today.

This family has endured more heartbreak than anyone should ever have to face. In March 2025, they suddenly lost their son, Steven. Now, while still grieving that devastating loss, they are facing the unimaginable pain of losing their beloved grandson, whom they lovingly raised and adopted as their own since he was just two months old. Tragically, his passing came just one day before what would have been his 18th birthday.

Amid this overwhelming grief, Tony is also courageously undergoing treatment for blood cancer, making this already devastating time even more emotionally, physically, and financially exhausting for the family.

As if these losses were not enough, the family also had to say goodbye to their cherished 17-year-old dog Tia, a beloved companion who had been part of their family for many years. The emotional and financial weight of so much loss in such a short time has been unimaginable.

The costs of memorial arrangements, time away from work, travel, and day-to-day expenses during medical treatment have created an enormous financial burden. Any support — whether through a donation or simply sharing this page — would help ease some of that weight and allow this family the space to grieve, heal, and support one another through these unimaginable losses.
