<div>In 2019, Aaron was diagnosed with cancer, and from that moment forward, he and Jess faced every challenge with courage, grace, and love. Over the years, they shared parts of their journey with friends and family, always surrounded by incredible support and prayer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After years of treatments, scans, and hopeful moments, Aaron’s cancer returned last year and stopped responding to treatment. Together, Aaron and Jess made the brave decision to focus on quality over quantity, choosing to spend time making memories with their family, traveling, watching their daughters reach milestones, and welcoming their first grandson into the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In late summer, Aaron’s health declined. After a hospital visit revealed blood clots and cancer that had spread to his lungs, liver, and adrenal glands, the family made the difficult decision to transition to hospice care. Jess wrote, “Our goal right now is to just get him home and love him as hard as we can.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sadly, Aaron passed on the morning of October 6th, leaving behind Jess, their children, and their sweet grandson, along with a lifetime of love, laughter, and memories.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe has been created to help ease the financial burden Jess is now facing. <strong>The funds will go toward:</strong>
</div>
<div>• Final expenses and memorial costs
</div>
<div>• Household bills and essential living expenses during this transition
</div>
<div>• Support for Jess as she adjusts to life without her best friend and partner
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jess has been by Aaron’s side every step of the way as his wife, caregiver, and biggest supporter. Now it is our turn to help hold her up. <strong>Every donation makes a difference. If you cannot give, please consider sharing this page or leaving a kind message for the family.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for loving them, praying for them, and walking alongside them through this journey.
</div>
