Supporting Krista and the kids after the loss of Bailey
Donation protected
On November 15th, we lost a Husband, Father, Son, Brother, Nephew, and Friend. In time of tragedy, the most common question asked is, "How can we help?". If God is pulling you to provide financial support to Krista and the kids, please consider donating to this "Go Fund Me" page. Any amount you're willing to contribute is greatly appreciated, and a blessing from above. All donations will go directly to the family.
Here is a tribute from Krista that truly reflects the man that Bailey was and the love they had for each other and their family:
"My heart is shattered losing you. You were the most amazing man and so easy to love. You had the kindest heart, so thoughtful, and had the best intentions always. You were quiet but sure were funny. There was never a doubt in my mind of having you as my husband to love every day. You filled my days with the most joy and always made me feel so happy. You were the best dad and the kids loved you so much. They will forever miss you but never will forget you. You will always live in our hearts and will continue to share the memories we have.
I miss your hugs, your laugh, the yelling with the kids while you chased them, your yelling and laughing while playing your video games with the boys, your smell, your talking to the cats, your requests for more Diet Coke for the grocery list, waiting for you to pull in from work to hear the kids yelling daddy, your organization, your help with all of the cleaning, and most of all watching you love the kids.
I also miss all of the “annoying” things I use to get so upset about. I wish I could pick up your random socks in the living room, listen to you slam the fridge shut, having your fan blowing on high at night, the facial hair on the sink after you shaved, and having to repeat myself multiple times!
My tip of advice for everyone, NEVER take any moment for granted. Love hard, listen, talk to your loved one’s every day and tell them you care. Also say I love you and never forget to hug your friends and family - hug them tight.
Love you always my sweet husband."
We all truly appreciate you taking a moment to read this story.
