It is with profound sadness that we share that Patrick Franklin Sr. was tragically passed away after being struck while riding his bicycle. What began as a sudden and devastating accident has ended in an unimaginable loss for our family.

He was deeply loved as a father, family member, and friend and his passing has left a hole in our hearts that words can’t fully describe. As we grieve, we are now faced with the unexpected financial responsibility of funeral and memorial expenses.

We are starting this GoFundMe to help cover the costs of laying him to rest with the dignity, care, and respect he deserves. Any funds raised will go directly toward funeral services, burial costs, and related expenses.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, will mean more to our family than we can express. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page, offering prayers, or keeping our family in your thoughts is deeply appreciated.

Thank you for surrounding us with love and support during this incredibly painful time.
