Hi my is Melissa,

It is with deep sadness that we share the sudden passing of Rod Carbis, a much-loved husband, father, family member and friend. Rod’s passing has left an unimaginable hole in the lives of those who loved him most, especially his wife, Melissa, and their three children, Adam, Blake and Vicky.

Rod and Melissa shared 12 years of marriage and built a life centered around their children: Adam, 17, Blake, 15, and Vicky, 12. As they now face the heartbreak of losing Rod far too soon, they are also being met with the practical and financial pressures that come with such a sudden loss.

This fundraiser has been created to help ease the immediate burden on Melissa and the children during the difficult months ahead. Donations will assist with cost-of-living expenses and associated costs, helping ensure the family has the stability and support they need while they grieve and begin to navigate life without Rod.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. If you are not in a position to donate, sharing this page with your family, friends or community would also be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for surrounding Melissa, Adam, Blake and Vicky with love, kindness and support during this heartbreaking time. Your generosity will help give them space to grieve, care for one another and move through the coming months with a little less financial stress.
