Thaddeus was a loving son and amazing brother who left too soon, at the early age of 21. Thaddeus was an aspiring Content Creator who unfortunately left us due to his Sickle Cell Disease.
Sickle Cell Disease is when "red blood cells contort into a sickle shape. The cells die early, leaving a shortage of healthy red blood cells (sickle cell anemia), and can block blood flow causing pain (sickle cell crisis)." Currently, there is no cure for Sickle Cell Disease. People born with Sickle Cell Disease are given a short life expectancy, unfortunately said to not live past their 40s. Thaddeus fought a life long battle of constant pain and we are fortunate he made it as far as he did. Our family did not expect to lose him this soon!
Growing up, Thaddeus spent a lot of his life in and out of hospitals. Even as child in the hospital, he had a cheery smile on his face when everyone came to see him. During the last years of his life, his visits to the hospital were more frequent and more intense. He went through severe depression but amazingly enough, during his last months, he started perking up. He started his own YouTube channel and he was the happiest we had ever seen him. He excitedly told us about his YouTube growth and his hard work learning how to edit videos. All of this to say, that he tried his best to live and start his life as a young person while having a deadly illness. He loved his YouTube Family!
We are thankful for any help we can receive during this hard time of planning for his funeral. No amount is too small as Anything you can spare would be amazing. We thank you for all of your love and support and for bringing Thaddeus to his happy place!
