Our family is heartbroken to share that our beloved Roper passed away suddenly on 8-17.2025. His passing was unexpected, and we are still in shock as we begin to process this great loss.

Roper was more than just a family member he was a source of laughter, wisdom, and unconditional love. His kindness touched so many people, and his absence has left a hole in our hearts.

Because of the sudden nature of his passing, our family was not financially prepared for the costs of his burial. We want to honor him with a dignified service and lay him to rest with the respect he deserves. We are asking for support from friends, family, and community members who feel led to help.

No contribution is too small; every donation will go directly toward funeral and burial expenses. If you are unable to give, we kindly ask that you share this message and keep our family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

We are deeply grateful for any support you can offer as we honor Roper’s life and memory.

With love and gratitude,

The Franklin Family
