Background
Michael unexpectedly passed away after surgery at Greenville Memorial Hospital on Wednesday, October 29, 2025. I never imagined this would be an account I’d have to make.
My brother passed away and, when no one was there to step forward, his body was left unclaimed. I could not let that be his final chapter. No matter the distance or challenges life created, he is my brother. He was fun-loving, full of so much hope even in the hard tiems. He tried so hard in his own way, and deserved dignity and respect in his final moments.
I am taking responsibility for his arrangements and doing EVERYTHING I can to give him a proper burial. If you are able to donate or share, it would mean more than I can express. Life was far from fair to him on earth, the last thing I want is for that to happen in death. If you are able to donate or share, it would mean more than I can express! Contribute
