Cash for SMASH

Donation protected

Hello, my name is Rubiari, and on behalf of our family, I would like to say, we truly appreciate you taking time out of your day to read about our beloved William, or Billy/Smash as he was commonly known. Our family is currently struggling to come to terms with his passing, especially in the manner that we lost him. For those who were lucky enough to have met Billy, you can attest that he was a loving father, son, brother, cousin, nephew, and friend. He had such a larger-than-life personality that you could not help but turn your head to look when he walked into a room, most can agree that sometimes you could hear him before actually seeing him. He always had a smile on his face and jokes or a funny story in his back pocket.

Some of you may have known of his struggles and how hard he worked to overcome them. He had turned his life around and took immense pride in all he was able to accomplish in these past couple of years. Billy was a living testament that with hard work you could redeem yourself and become a good contributing member of society. Last month he accomplished one of his biggest goals, his little girl had her quinceanera and he was able to make her dream come true with the help of her mom, his family, and his hard work. His daughter was his biggest pride and love, she was his driving force to be better and his best friend.

He has left big shoes for us to fill, but Smash, we got your baby girl, she will always be reminded of your love and be taken care of. We all loved Billy, but no one loved him as much as his mom. She was there for him through every fall, ready to pick him up and get him back on the right path. He was her baby boy, even at nearly 6'3, a momma's boy through and through. Billy took massive joy in finally being able to provide financial support to his mom after all she had done for him.

At this time with our sincere and humble hearts we ask for your help to be able to provide Billy with a proper funeral and burial service and to provide some financial help to his family to alleviate any stress during their time of grief. We understand that times are hard, any amount you are able to contribute is truly appreciated. If you are unable to contribute it would still mean the world to us, especially his mom and daughter, if you could send pictures and your fondest memories of him.
