My husband’s passing was completely unexpected, and it has left our family heartbroken. He worked for ATI Industries in Cudahy, WI since 2012, and was not only a dedicated provider for our family but also a loving husband and father to our daughter, Michelle, and my son from a previous marriage, Christopher. He was a wonderful friend and neighbor, always ready to lend a hand or share a laugh. His love for pickling, fishing, tending to his garden, and trips to Door County brought joy to our home and to those around us. Even our two dogs, Bear and Boscoe, miss their dad dearly.

His sudden loss has brought many challenges. As the main provider, his absence has left us facing funeral costs, daily living expenses, and debts that have come up as a result. It’s overwhelming to navigate these hardships while grieving, but I am doing my best for Michelle, Christopher, Bear, Boscoe, and to honor his memory. The support from our community, friends, and family means more than words can say.

I am deeply grateful for any help you can offer, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing our story. Your kindness and support will help us through this difficult time and give us hope for the future. Thank you for thinking of our family and for any support you can provide.
