It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of my brother, Alan “AJ” Ake after a hard-fought battle with cancer. He showed incredible strength, courage, and resilience throughout his journey, and our family is devastated by this loss.

We have created this GoFundMe to help cover funeral and memorial expenses during this incredibly difficult time. Any funds raised beyond those costs will go toward his final life expenses and, most importantly, to support his boys as they navigate life without their father.

If you’re able to contribute, no amount is too small and every donation is deeply appreciated. If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping our family — especially his boys — in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your love, support, and kindness during this heartbreaking time.

We are also using Venmo for donations @Angiemae8584 or contact Angie directly who will be handling donations for the family.
