On September 23 2020 I lost my father John. It was so unexpected, he wasn’t sick or even feeling bad, he was very chipper when we spoke on the phone that morning. It was less then an hour after we spoke when he suddenly passed of some kind of heart complications. It’s still so crazy to me bc he wasn’t even sick or feeling bad. He was taken way too soon, he was only 58 years old. My dad was such a good man, he always helped others to the point he always put himself last. As long as he thought someone was really trying to help himself he would go completely out of his way to help them in any way that he could. And he would never ask for anything in return, and had a hard time accepting help or anything really from others. He had 3 dogs when he passed and he even put them first too. One had bladder stones and he took her to the vet and went without groceries for himself for a week so that she would be ok. He was a remarkable grandfather two my two children. He got up every school morning and drove to our house to pick the kids up to drop them off at school. He would go to my daughters softball games and take my son on hikes. I’m a single mother who works full time and he was always there for me to help out any way he could. He did things from taking the kids to the dr appointments on days I had to work, to helping me fix up my house, from cutting my grass every week. He was such a great father to me and we was so close. His death was very hard on the kids. But I took it so hard I actually lost my job bc I needed more time then they seemed fit. He was just such an amazing person and so involved in our lives that it just broke me to lose him. I’ve now finally got another job and just now been able to start to function in a normal-like way. My dad didn’t have a lot of money and I live paycheck to paycheck. I’m now trying to come up with money to pay off his funeral, and to get him a marker or headstone. At this point I’ve been playing catch-up on my own personal bills from the gap in employment, so I haven't been able to put very much towards his final expenses. He took such great care of me so I’m hoping with some help that I can at least take care of his funeral and headstone that he deserves. I’m like him in a lot of ways, and that’s why I hate asking for help. But I’m simply not able to come up with this on my own, and to me he’s the worth putting my pride to the side for. Contribute
