How you can help

Maurice passed unexpectedly this morning at 57 years old. After years of battling health issues and grieving the loss of his wife, he had a conversation with his oldest son last night about his excitement for the future.

His sons are in shock and are unprepared for the loss of their last remaining parent. They plan to cremate him and place him in a Star Wars Death Star urn to honor is love for sci-fi and Star Wars. We're still figuring out memorial services at this time, but they know they'd like to return his remains home to Louisiana and have a memorial with his family and friends there.

I've started this fund to help with the cremation cost and the costs associated with a memorial and a visit back to Louisiana.
