Support Stanley's Family in Their Time of Need. Please.

Stanley Ferraciolli Helfenstens passed away Wednesday April 2nd 2025. He died peacefully in his sleep. Short note is him smoking as much as he did killed him. Main official cause listed is chronic pulmonary disease due to cigarette smoking and emphysema. Which in turn caused him to have congestive heart failure, cardiovascular disease and peripheral artery disease.

He is succeeded by his family his mother Dilque Mecler, his daughter Rachel You, his 4 grandchildren, his son in law Jonathan Maurer, and several half siblings in Brazil such as a David Helfenstens and cousins. His close friends (Caca, Cristian, Maria, John, Gabriel, Andre, and so so many more). Not to mention his musical family Sesame Plexer (Dina & Jay, Karen) as well as the entirety of the Daytona and Petrópolis rock community.

I am beyond overwhelmed since the passing of my father. I am grieving and trying to settle all of these things. He never left any of his passwords or information. Then there’s all the Brazilian paperwork like grandmas life insurance and now I have to find her lawyer or contact Itaú to change things. I need a probate lawyer asap. I wanted to go back to work because I am financially struggling and overwhelmed but my mind is drowning. I need help. Please. Any and every help, not just financially. Any advice or emotional comfort, I need it. My father Stanley Helfenstens wasn’t always the nicest or easiest man but he tried and did his best and loved me the way he knew how. He may not have been the best man in the world but he gave everything for his mother. And that is more than most others can say.
