Michael is the heart of our family — a devoted father, a loving husband, and the kind of person whose quiet strength and steady presence have always made everyone around him feel safe and loved. Our world changed forever when he was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer — a devastating reality none of us were prepared for. And yet, even in the face of this unimaginable challenge, Michael’s spirit remains unshakable.
For over 25 years, Michael has shared his life with his wife, Barbara, building a home filled with love, laughter, and deep, unwavering commitment. Together, they raised their daughter Jenna, who adores her dad beyond words. Michael is also the proud father of Jackie, his daughter from a previous marriage, and their bond is one of strength, love, and mutual respect. He is the kind of dad who shows up, no matter what — the kind of man who puts everyone else first, always.
To know Michael is to know compassion. He’s the guy who would give you the shirt off his back, the one you can count on in a crisis, and the one who never expects anything in return. Now, he needs us — and we’re humbly asking for your help.
The road ahead is incredibly hard. The cost of treatment, travel, and everyday expenses is more than our family can carry alone. Any support you can offer — whether it’s a donation, a prayer, or simply sharing this — brings us one step closer to giving Michael the chance he deserves.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with us during the hardest chapter of our lives. Your love and generosity mean more than words can express.
