Our father/grandfather never met a stranger. He had a gift for making everyone feel important, always sharing a joke and bringing out the best in people. For over five years, he bravely struggled with dementia, but even as his memory faded, his warmth and kindness never did. He continued to light up every room he entered, reminding us that everyone is important in their own way.

On Tuesday, December 16, he passed away unexpectedly in his sleep. Our family is heartbroken, and as we grieve, we are also facing the difficult reality of covering his funeral, burial, and memorial service expenses. The costs are more than we can manage on our own, and we want nothing more than to provide him a respectful and loving burial, and to help his wife, our mother/grandmother in a small way.

We are humbly asking for support to help cover these expenses and to support our mother/grandmother during this hardship. Any contribution—no matter the amount—will be greatly appreciated and will help ease the financial strain, allowing our family to focus on remembering, honoring, and celebrating the years that God gave him.

If you are unable to donate, we completely understand and ask that you please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping our family in your prayers. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, and support during this time. God bless you.
