Fundraiser for Stephen Morales

Our Dad Stephen Morales:

Husband • Father • Grandfather • Man of God

On Thursday late-Evening August 15, 2019,  our father was rushed to the hospital after having a stroke at home. He was then air lifted to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center for a second opinion. Unfortunately his vital signs and basic functions just weren't there. We were able to say our good byes and a prayer before.

He passed on Friday August 16, 2019 at 6 am.

He was loved by so many. His kids, his grand kids, his family. He will forever be remembered by his love he gave us, his humor, and his strong family values. He was a staple in our family that we lost too soon.  A deep hole is left in our hearts without him now. The pain is unimaginable for us. But he would want us to be strong and not to cry for him. He would want us to remember him as he was for so many years, strong. He would want us to know that he is in a better place, full of peace and love, preparing the way for us for when we will one day meet again. Our prayer is for our strength in this difficult time and for my mother Diane who lost the love of her life. We pray that she find the strength to get through this. The pain for her will never go away, but we do pray that she does find the strength to cope with this loss. He loved her with all his heart. We have a long and difficult journey ahead of us. 

With this unexpected ending, we are caught in between mourning and difficult decisions that have to be made. Our family is doing our best to plan a celebration of life so we can all enjoy and reminisce on our memories together. All donations will go to final expenses, unanticipated medical expenses, and a celebration of life memorial for our Dad. Your support is immensely appreciated among our family, as money should never be a burden on a grieving family. I pray that all who donate will be blessed as you are helping an entire family at our darkest hour.
