My name is Lynn Gonzalez, Sylar was one of my bonus grandbabies, and we all loved him so very much. I am creating this gofundme, for Karina & Nuke to possibly ease the financial burden they now have to carry. This is a message from Sylars mother.

There are no words that can truly describe the pain we are living through right now. Losing a child is something no parent should ever have to face—but to go through this heartbreak for a third time feels unbearable. Our sweet baby, Sylar Praise Bushner, was taken from us far too soon due to a sudden artery rupture caused by an ulcer in his esophagus. He was just one month away from turning two years old.

Sylar was our joy. He was our light. His favorite people in the whole world were his mommy, daddy, and his siblings, and he made sure we felt that love every single day. He had this beautiful way of bringing warmth into any room—his smile could lift even the heaviest hearts. Now, without him, the days feel darker than we ever thought possible.

He was so full of life and personality. Our little man loved music—he could pick up a guitar and strum it like he had been playing his whole life. He had the sweetest, funniest dance moves that would make you laugh and cry all at once. He knew when to be silly, and he knew when to come close, wrap his arms around you, and give the kind of hugs and kisses you wish you could hold onto forever.

Sylar wasn’t just loved—he was love. And the emptiness he leaves behind is something we are struggling to carry.

As we try to navigate this unimaginable loss, we are also facing the financial burden that comes with laying our baby to rest and getting through the next few months. The weight of it all is overwhelming.

We are asking, from the bottom of our hearts, for any support you can give—whether it’s a donation, a prayer, or simply sharing Sylar’s story. Every bit of kindness means more to us than we can express.

Thank you for loving our baby with us. Thank you for helping us through the hardest time of our lives.
