Hi, my name is Claudia and I'm reaching out with a heavy heart.

On Friday morning, May 16, 2025, my dad Robert, passed away unexpectedly. Our family is completely devastated by this sudden loss and now we’re facing the emotional and financial weight of saying goodbye far sooner than we’ve ever imagined.

We decided to create this GoFundMe to help cover a variety of unexpected expenses, this includes the funeral costs and short-term financial support for our family during this incredibly difficult time as we navigate further and learn to cope with his absence.

We still hear his footsteps, We can still smell him. We can still feel his presence. We're still waiting for him to walk through that front door. My dad wasn’t just the heart of our home, he was home. He had a presence you couldn’t miss. And now that he’s gone the silence feels too loud.

If you’re able to contribute, even a small amount, it would mean so much to our family. If you’re not able to donate then please consider sharing this. Every ounce of support helps more than you’d know. From the bottom of my heart and my family, Thank You.
