My brother Rod (Speedy) passed away today after a battle with pancreatic cancer. His illness progressed much faster than we expected, and losing him has left a huge hole in our family. Rod was a source of strength and support for us, and we are heartbroken to say goodbye so soon.

With his passing, we find ourselves in a financial hardship. We had been working on becoming less dependent on his income, but we weren't there yet. Now, on top of our grief, we are facing the unexpected costs of his funeral. It's difficult for me to ask for help, but I know that reaching out to our community is the best way to honor Rod and give him the farewell he deserves.

If you are able to help, whether through a donation or by keeping us in your prayers, we would be deeply grateful. Every bit of support means so much to us as we navigate this painful time. Thank you for considering helping our family honor Rod's memory.

A few people have asked for my Venmo so I thought to add here.
