There are moments in life that leave us searching for words, and this is one of them.

My dear friend, Erin, and her two beautiful children, Reid and Reagan, are facing the unimaginable loss of Josh—a loving father, cherished friend, and someone who will always hold a special place in their hearts.

Although Erin and Josh had been separated, the love and respect they shared for one another never disappeared. They were committed to co-parenting Reid and Reagan, and together they created a family rooted in love. Josh adored his children, and his greatest joy was being their dad.

As Erin navigates this heartbreaking loss, she is also carrying the responsibility of helping Reid and Reagan through the grief of losing their father while trying to provide them with the stability, comfort, and security they need.

I’m asking our family, friends, and community to come together to support them during this incredibly difficult time. The funds raised will help ease the burden of everyday living expenses as Erin adjusts to this unexpected reality, allowing her to focus on caring for her children and giving them the time and space to heal. A portion of the donations will also be set aside for college funds for Reid and Reagan, helping ensure the future Josh always wanted for them.

No amount of money can ever replace Josh or ease the pain of this loss, but together we can help lift some of the weight from Erin’s shoulders and remind this family they are surrounded by love. Every donation, no matter the size, is a meaningful gift of compassion and hope. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping Erin, Reid, and Reagan in your thoughts and prayers.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for honoring Josh’s memory by supporting the family he loved so deeply. Your kindness and generosity will make a lasting difference in their lives.
