On March 29, 2025, my world shattered. I lost my life companion, my best friend, and the love of my life — Moni.

She was the light in my darkest days, the one who always saw the good in others, even when they couldn’t see it in themselves. Moni loved deeply, laughed often, and gave her heart fully to her friends, family, and community. She was my everything.

We've received an outpour of love through messages, calls, prayers and condolences — especially from our loved ones, my home - the Hualapai Nation, our Grand Canyon West family, and dear friends. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Moni loved each and every one of you so very much!

As many of you know, I’m also dealing with serious medical challenges of my own and am currently still in Las Vegas, NV. Grieving this loss while facing my own health struggles has been overwhelming.

Now, I’m humbly asking for help. I want to give Moni the farewell she truly deserves—something beautiful, something peaceful, something that reflects the incredible soul she was. If you are able to contribute, no matter how small, your support will go directly toward laying her to rest in the way she should be. Thank you for standing with me during the hardest moment of my life.

Please note: Any remaining funds after funeral expenses will be used to help cover household bills during this difficult time.
