Many of you know that my father recently passed away. He was the most humble, kind, and steady man I have ever known. His loss has left a space that cannot be filled and a family that is grieving deeply. My stepmom, Wendy, is now facing life without her partner, her best friend, and her constant support. Along with the heartbreak, she is navigating the weight of everyday responsibilities and unexpected expenses that come with such a profound loss.

I am setting up a GoFundMe to help ease some of that burden. This is not something we ever imagined needing to do, but in moments like this, family and community mean everything. If you are able to help in any way, whether through a donation, sharing this page, or simply keeping her in your thoughts and prayers, it would mean more than I can express. Every act of kindness matters, and every bit of support helps remind her that she is not walking this road alone.

Thank you for loving our family, for honoring my father’s memory, and for standing beside my stepmom during this incredibly difficult time.
