Help Bring My Dad Home – Cremation & Funeral Cost

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out with a heavy heart and a difficult request. My dad passed away the day after Thanksgiving, and we are now facing the challenge of giving him a dignified farewell. My father was a loving parent and someone I greatly respected and cherished. He never gave up on me. Although we would butt heads sometimes, he always made sure I knew he loved me. I am proud to be Sam Spear's daughter.

My dad was born and raised in California; he loved the beaches, and he loved to surf in his youth. He moved to Arizona 5 years ago to help support his grandkids, whom he adored.

By his wishes, we want to honor his memory by having him cremated and bringing his ashes home, where we can lay him to rest at Bellevue Cemetery close to his mom, dad, and grandmother. However, the cost of cremation and bringing him back home has far exceeded what we can afford at the moment.

The funds raised will go directly toward:

Cremation fees

Transporting his remains back to our hometown

Other related costs

We understand that times are tough for everyone, so if you are unable to donate, your thoughts, prayers, and sharing this campaign are just as meaningful. Every bit of support will help ease the burden during this difficult time.

Thank you for any help you can provide, whether it's financial, emotional, or simply spreading the word. Your kindness means the world to us, and it will help us fulfill my dad's final wishes and keep his memory close to our hearts.

With gratitude,

Kelly Spear
