Thaddeus: A Legacy of Love, Truth, and Adventure

Thaddeus wasn’t just a world traveler—he was the world to those who knew him. With his sassy wit, sharp humor, and unfiltered truth-telling, gurrlll he made life brighter and realer for everyone lucky enough to cross his path. He would give a cute read so sharp it cut you, but he always paired it with love so pure that you felt like the most special person alive.

Whether he was conquering countries one passport stamp at a time, slayinngg on the dance floor, or making you laugh so hard you cried, Thaddeus lived boldly and unapologetically. As soon as his 6’4” frame hit the dance floor, it was def a sight to behold and every movement was deliberate, powerful, and full of joy, as if he was defying gravity itself. He didn’t just dance, he commanded air around him with the grace of a professional and the soul of someone who lived for every beat.

He had an uncanny way of turning the ordinary into the extraordinary—whether it was cutting up a women’s top and transforming it into a runway level piece like a designer or a heartfelt conversation that left you feeling seen, heard, valued, or just chilll.

Thaddeus’s love wasn’t just deep; it was wide. He gave it to his family, friends, nieces, and nephews and always inspired them to dream bigger, laugh harder, and never settle for less than they deserved.

Now, as we face life without his larger-than-life presence, we want to honor his legacy the way he would have wanted: with love, purpose, and a commitment to those he cared for most.

Your contributions will help us:

This isn’t just about covering costs; it’s about letting Thaddeus’s life continue to live through the people he loved. It’s about continuing to be the light in someone’s life and pushing them to be their best selves. It’s about making sure his nieces and nephews know that their uncle’s love and belief in them will carry them through life, just as it carried all of us.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Your generosity will help us honor Thaddeus in a way that reflects his incredible spirit.

Thaddeus, save us a seat, a cocktail, and one of your unforgettable dance moves on the other side. We miss you, we love you, and we’ll keep making you proud.

To the love of my life—Thaddeus,

Thank you for your unconditional love that has made my life easy, loving, and magical. I will carry you every day with me for the rest of my life.
