Our hearts are completely broken as we share that our amazing dad has passed away. There are no words big enough to describe who he was — he was our rock, our protector, our biggest supporter, and the person who loved us unconditionally.

He was kind, patient, hardworking, and full of love. He did everything for his family without ever asking for anything in return. Whether it was buying us the latest WWE pay-per-view when we were kids or co-signing for a car years later, he always showed up for us. That was just who he was — always putting us first, always finding a way.

But his love didn’t stop with us. Our dad had a way of making everyone feel seen, supported, and cared for — especially those who didn’t have a father or male role model in their lives. He gave guidance, encouragement, and warmth to so many people who needed it most, and his impact will continue to live on through them.

He taught us to never give up, even when life felt impossible. Right now, that lesson is what we’re holding onto most.

We’re creating this GoFundMe to help lay our dad to rest and give him the beautiful goodbye he deserves. These funds will also help support our family as we take some time off to grieve, heal, and navigate life without him. Losing him has been the hardest thing we’ve ever faced, and any help — whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this — means more to us than we can ever say.

Thank you for loving him, remembering him, and helping us honor the incredible man he was.

“We love because He first loved us.”
