With profound sadness, we share the news that Cande passed away tonight, surrounded by love and light. Though his body succumbed to its struggles after his massive stroke on Dec 3rd, his spirit remains unbroken. We had prayed for a Christmas miracle, and while it may not have been the outcome we hoped for, we take comfort in knowing that Cande's legacy lives on through the gift of organ donation, granting others a chance at a Christmas miracle.

We have appreciated all the prayers; they have brought us much comfort!

We are now asking for help in navigating the next steps! We have a funeral to fund and we have additional expenses due to his illness. If you find it in your heart to donate any monetary amount to help with these expenses, it would be greatly appreciated. If you cannot, we sincerely appreciate all of your prayers!
