Update : Help Bring Our Father Home – He Passed Away Today, On His Birthday

A devoted father of nine. A loving husband of over 35 years. A proud grandfather to six beautiful children.

Today, June 1st, on what should have been a day of celebration, our hearts are shattered—our beloved father passed away on his birthday after a courageous battle with esophageal cancer.

Though he was lovingly cared for in his final moments, he passed sooner than expected, before we—his children and grandchildren in the United States—could say goodbye in person. He never got to hold his grandchildren or see them with his own eyes.

Now we are faced with one final mission: to bring our father home.

We are humbly asking for your help to repatriate his body from the UK to the United States, so that he can be laid to rest surrounded by the family who has loved him from afar—his children, his grandchildren, and the life he helped build.

Your donation will help cover:

• The urgent costs of body repatriation from the UK to the U.S.

• Funeral and burial expenses here in the States

• The opportunity for his children and grandchildren to say the goodbye they never got to give

This loss is sudden. The pain is overwhelming. And the cost of bringing him home is more than our family can carry alone.

If you’ve ever lost someone you love, if you believe that no parent should be separated from their family in death, we ask—please help us bring our father home where he belongs.

Every donation helps lift this weight.

Every share brings us closer to closure.

From all nine of his children, his six grandchildren, his wife, and all who loved him—thank you for standing with us in this heartbreaking moment.
