My father passed away on Saturday, March 14, 2026. My heart is broken into a unimaginable pieces. He was not only my father, but my best friend. He was the kind of person who always smiled, loved to laugh, and could make anyone around him laugh with his goofy personality. He was truly a kid at heart, but also incredibly wise and caring. He brought so much light and joy to the people around him. While he didn’t have anything, and was terminally ill, he always sacrificed himself and put others first. 

If I can describe my father as an animal, I would say he as the Bull. He battled with heart failure and kidney failure, which caused him to go dialysis for medical treatments. Seeing my dad go through his battles was incredibly painful. I know it’s something no one can ever prepare for emotionally. He really fought his best to stay in my familys lives, but his body couldnt take it anymore in the end.

I found out when he passed away he didnt have anything saved up for a funeral, as we all didnt expect for him to go this soon at the age of 68 and because of him being so strong.

I am reaching out to see if anyone can please make a contribution/donation to a GoFundMe account I have created for my dad. I want to honor his last wishes and lay him to rest. He wanted a burial and service for family, friends and for anyone who wanted to pay their respects. If at this time you can’t make a donation, spreading this post around or sharing the GoFundMe link to those who can help would help tremendously.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post, I know sad news is never a good time.
