Our hearts are shattered as we share the unexpected passing of our beloved Michael. He went in for what was supposed to be a routine prostate surgery but tragically passed away due to complications shortly after. Our family is still in disbelief — this was not something any of us could have prepared for.

In the midst of our grief, we’re also facing unimaginable challenges. The hospital has refused to perform an autopsy, leaving our family with painful unanswered questions. We’ve been told that obtaining a private autopsy could cost around $15,000, a burden far beyond what we can manage alone. This needs to be obtain immediately.

We are doing everything we can to come together and raise the necessary funds to:

Cover the cost of a private autopsy so we can understand what truly happened.

Help with funeral and memorial expenses, allowing us to give my brother Michael the farewell he deserves.

Support his wife and young daughter as she navigates this devastating loss and the financial challenges that come with it.

Michael was a loving husband, brother, and friend — a God Fearing man with a kind heart who touched the lives of everyone around him. His sudden passing has left a deep hole in our family, and while we can’t bring him back, we want to honor his memory and seek the truth about his final moments.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will help lift some of the weight from our shoulders during this incredibly painful time. If you’re unable to donate, please keep our family in your prayers and share this campaign to help us reach others who may want to help.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, support, and compassion. ❤️

— The Family of Michael
