On September 9, 2025, I lost my dad unexpectedly, and it was one of the hardest days I couldn’t imagine for me and my mom. I feel like I'm in a bad dream, and this doesn't seem real. My mom and dad were married for 42 years, and now her love is taken away.

He was the most loving grandfather (even on his bad days when he was in pain), he was kind to others, he was such a loving father, he was known for his jokes, always made others laugh, and enjoyed cooking and baking.

At this point, I'm lost for words, and all I can say is he will be tremendously missed by so many. He was one of my best friends and the first man I loved.

No life insurance was set up, and now my mom is on a single income. Any donations to help cover the cost to have a celebration of life for my father and to help with any other expenses to take this heavy burden off my mom during this difficult and stressful time will be a huge blessing. And even if you can't make any donations at this time, please prayers for our family at this most difficult time are much appreciated.

With all of our love,

Jessica & Karen
