On November 12, 2024, my father, Rick, tragically and unexpectedly passed away at just 48 years old. He was a kind, hardworking man with a heart of gold, always putting his family first. As the emotional anchor and sole provider for our household, his loss has left an unimaginable void in our lives.

Rick was a devoted husband and father to his four children, two of whom have severe autism and require full-time care from their mother/Rick’s wife, Trisha. With his passing, our family faces overwhelming financial challenges, including funeral expenses, medical bills, and the basic costs of daily living.

We are reaching out to our community for support during this incredibly difficult time. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help us honor our father's memory and navigate the road ahead. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, generosity, and prayers.
