Update 11/23/25 - We have surgery scheduled for 12/4/2025 to remove the tumor and to remove lymph nodes to test for cancer cells. We still have a long road ahead of us and we continue to ask for your support and prayers.

My name is Cheyenne, and I’m starting this GoFundMe with a heavy heart for my dad — the man who has always put everyone before himself, who has been the rock of our family, and who was recently diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer.

This has all happened so fast. One day he was laughing with his grandkids, grilling outside, and talking about future plans… and the next we were sitting in a hospital room hearing the word no family ever wants to hear: cancer. His tumor is about 5cm, and the doctors have already started preparing us for what’s ahead — surgery, treatments, and a long road of recovery.

My dad is the most family-oriented man you could ever meet. He lives for his kids and grandkids. He’s the type of dad who shows up — every birthday, every school event, every late-night phone call. If someone needed help, he was already on his way before you even finished explaining. He never asked for anything in return.

Now he’s facing the biggest fight of his life, and for once… he needs help.

Since his diagnosis, he’s been dealing with severe abdominal pain, bleeding, and exhaustion. He can’t work right now, and the medical bills, tests, imaging, and upcoming treatments are piling up faster than any of us expected. Our family is doing everything we can, but we can’t do this alone.

We want to keep my dad focused on fighting, healing, and staying strong — not worrying about how we’re going to afford the next appointment.

If you are able to donate, share, or even just pray for him, it would mean more to us than words can ever describe. Every little bit helps, and every act of kindness brings us one step closer to getting him through this.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting my dad during the hardest time of his life. He deserves so many more years with his kids, his grandkids, and everyone who loves him.

Please keep him in your prayers.
