Supporting J.R. Labardini’s Final Journey

Hi, my name is Michelle Buckner, and I am reaching out with a heavy heart. Yesterday, Anthony and I lost our father, J.R. Labardini. His passing has left our family heartbroken, but we want to honor him in a way that truly reflects the incredible person he was.

J.R. was the kind of man who never hesitated to lend a hand if he had the means to do so. He was a dedicated volunteer, always giving his time and effort to several organizations, including The Rose and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR). He also shared his passion for cooking by contributing to several BBQ fundraisers to support those in need.

More than anything, J.R. had a gift for making people laugh. No matter the situation, he could bring joy with his humor and warmth. Our wish is to give him a service worthy of his legacy, where we can come together to celebrate his life and share the countless funny moments he gave us.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly toward making this possible. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean the world to us.

Thank you for your love, support, and kindness during this difficult time.
