Our hearts are completely shattered. On 7-11-26, our beloved Kenneth was suddenly and tragically taken from us at age 51 in a devastating, unthinkable medical event. He suffered a simultaneous brain bleed, stroke, and heart attack. Despite the heroic efforts of the medical team, the vascular storm was simply too much for his body to fight. He passed away, leaving an unimaginable void in our lives just 2 days shy of his 52 birthday(July 13). Kenny was the absolute rock, anchor, and primary provider for our beautiful family. Now, I am left to navigate a world that has been completely turned upside down. Not only am I carrying the weight of profound, shattering grief, but I must also find a way to stay strong for our two precious, small children and our devoted 5-year-old Pyredoodle, who keeps looking at the door waiting for Kenny to come home. To make an already tragic situation even harder, I have been out of work for the past few months due to my own severe health challenges. With Kenny gone, our family’s primary source of income has vanished instantly, leaving us facing an overwhelming mountain of immediate financial stress for rent, utilities, groceries, and school supplies and clothes for the children. Any support, no matter how small, would mean the world to us as we try to find our footing after this unimaginable loss. Your kindness and generosity will help us keep our home, provide for our children, and care for our loyal Pyredoodle as we begin to rebuild.
