We are asking anyone that has a beautiful story or memory to prepare something, as a microphone will be open to those in the congregation.

There will be a lunch, to which all are welcome, at 12:00 pm, at the church.

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions, the burial at the cemetery will be restricted to only those specifically invited.

We have been overwhelmed by the support and love that we have received. We are humbled to announce that the funeral costs have not just been met, but far exceeded. We want everyone to know that any donations that exceed the amount required for the funeral and burial will be put towards any other end of life costs, and anything beyond that to supporting his immediate family. We will leave this page open for any further donations for those who may still want to give.

Please know that each donation has been recognized with tears of gratitude and joy. We thank each of you for your love and support.
