There’s one in every crowd—the one who is so vibrant and can light up a room the moment he walks in, who has such wild humor he leaves everyone in tears from laughing so hard, who reaches for that grocery item at the top shelf for an elderly person, who sees a loved one struggling and figures out a way to come up with a solution, who aids the less fortunate with no expected gain for themselves. That was TJ. His selflessness being one of the many characteristics about him that made him so special, so memorable—and it’s the reason we now reach out to you all today.

TJ passed away unexpectedly on August 6, 2025 at age 39–another beautiful life taken from this earth far too soon. If you know TJ, you know his family is his world, and he is survived by his beautiful wife Emma, their son Cooper, and eldest son Wyatt. TJ was the sole provider for his family and losing him is going to be the ultimate adjustment for them and so many others.

In honor of the man TJ was and always will be, his friends and family are creating this page and asking that you all rally around Emma and the children with prayers, love and support. Any monetary donations will be directly supporting Emma and the children as they adjust and navigate the expenses of laying this cherished man to rest.
