Assist Stephanie in Remembering Her Dad
Donation protected
My name is Stephanie Ross and I am raising money to help cover my Dad's funeral expenses as well as a Celebration of Life. Any donation is appreciated and we will be sure to share the date of the celebration.
As most of you know he was diagnosed with Lung Disease several years ago. Never smoked a day in his life. He had been beating the odds, staying strong and proving all the Dr's wrong. We had started a Go Fund me 6 years ago hoping for a transplant. The last several years he had been in and out of the hospital but surviving with his oxygen tanks.
Thursday March 20th he went to the ER like he had many times the last 3 weeks. His oxygen was dropping lower and lower despite turning up his oxygen. Friday the 21st he was admitted. Over the weekend they had him on a diabetic diet and we thought we was back to his old self answering and arguing with Spam callers. Tue morning he had been admitted to the ICU and Wed March 26th they wanted to do a procedure to see what was causing the blocked airway, they had to put him on a ventilator to do the procedure, we found out then he had a aggressive tumor and there was nothing we could do. Thursday morning friends and family gathered around him and they made him comfortable. After taking off the ventilator he lasted a few hours and went peacefully March 27th at 2:14. He didn't have life insurance and even though this had been expected but NOT expected we are asking for help to not make this a financial burden on the family. Thank you so much.
