Dear friends and family,

It is with a heavy heart and tearful eyes that I share the devastating news of my father's unexpected passing. A man with a heart so big, it seemed to know no bounds. My dad was more than just a father; he was a beacon of love, a source of endless laughter, and a selfless soul who put everyone else before himself.

Dad had an incredible sense of humor that could light up even the darkest room. His presence was synonymous with joy, and being around him meant moments filled with laughter and warmth. He was the doormat of our family, always welcoming, always supportive, and forever reliable. His love extended beyond bloodlines – he was a great grandfather, father, husband, uncle, cousin, brother, son, and friend.

One could always count on him, just a phone call away, unless he was catching up on much-needed sleep or dedicating himself to his work. His generosity knew no bounds, and he would readily give the shirt off his back in the dead of winter if it meant helping someone in need.

Dad had a passion for 3D printing, a skill he was using to create a product that would benefit his colleagues at the company he worked for, particularly those operating forklifts and scanners. He poured his creativity and innovation into making the workplace safer and more efficient for everyone.

His interests were diverse – from his love for sci-fi and action movies to his favorite music genres, which included rap, R&B, and hip hop. The beats that made your speakers rattle and your ears throb were his favorites, and you could always hear him pull up in his car, music echoing his vibrant spirit.

Now, we find ourselves grappling with the aftermath of his sudden departure. Medical expenses, therapy, bills, and funeral costs are daunting challenges that we are facing, and we humbly reach out to you for support during this difficult time. Any contribution, big or small, will go a long way in helping us navigate through the financial burden that has unexpectedly fallen upon us.

Our family is grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have already received. In honoring my father's memory, let us come together to ensure that his legacy of love, laughter, and selflessness lives on. Thank you for being part of this journey with us.

With love and gratitude,
Julie and Family
