Support Melissa Cannon After Tragic Loss

Hello, my name is Ronnie Cannon, and I am Melissa Cannon's father. I have started this GoFundMe in response to the sudden and tragic loss of Melissa's husband, David Keith Ross III, who passed away on August 21, 2024, at their family home. Melissa and David shared over 14 years together, building a life in New Waverly, Texas, where they lived with Melissa’s elderly stepfather and her 22-year-old son, Dalton.

This unexpected loss has left Melissa facing an uncertain future as she navigates life as a single parent and head of household. Although she is an employee of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, it is not nearly enough to allow her to process this grief and continue providing for her family. The funds raised will be used to help cover the final arrangements and Melissa's monthly expenses for herself, her family for as long as possible.

As a father, I want to comfort her in any way possible. I don't like to see my Babygirl in so much pain. She will need some grief counseling after this traumatic experience. Please help my Babygirl.

David was a quiet and loving husband, who, despite battling chronic pain and mental health struggles in recent years, remained strong for his family. His absence leaves a void that will be felt forever by those who knew and loved him, especially Melissa. She is surrounded by friends and family, but the worry and uncertainty of their financial future weigh heavily on her. Any support you can offer would mean the world to her, giving her the space and relief she needs to focus on her family during this incredibly difficult time. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
