JR passed away on December 24th, surrounded by those he loved most. It is with heavy, broken hearts that we accept a world without him. 

We turn our thoughts and love to his family, and especially to Mel and Aiden. Please share generously to support them in this terrible time, providing them with stability when so many things are uncertain. 

Love you all. 

Mel and JR's love story is a long one. They met in high school, dated for many years, and married in the fall of 2012. Anyone who knows them can attest to their love and devotion to each other.
