Dear Customers,
We wanted to take a moment to share some personal news and updates regarding our family and business.
Alton Gene 6/17/47 - 1/24/25 - Obituary |
This past September, Rob’s sister, Jamie, arrived from New Mexico. She was leaving a difficult relationship, looking to start a new chapter in life and find comfort with family. We set up a camper on our property for her and her pets. Having Jamie here brought fresh air into our daily lives and workload. Always a team player, she helped around the house, cared for the kids, and eased the stresses we were all facing with Uncle Al's care. Quick with a joke or smart remark, Jamie brought levity to every situation. She was unapologetically authentic, with a heart of gold.
On Jamaica’s birthday, February 3rd, we all had dinner together and enjoyed some cheesecake. Later that night, Jamie banged on our bedroom door, calling for Rob. We rushed out to find her struggling to catch her breath. Since moving in, she had experienced occasional shortness of breath and chest tightness. She said she had been having these episodes for over 15 years, which we had presumed were panic attacks. But this time, it escalated quickly—she turned pale and lost consciousness. We called 911, and Rob performed CPR as instructed until EMS arrived. The paramedics did everything they could to resuscitate her, but they were unable to, and she passed away from a massive heart attack. She was 52 years old.
It was a terrifying situation that ended in the worst possible way. Needless to say, we are in shock and deep grief, having lost them both within days of each other. Watching Uncle Al wither away was a slow and painful process—one we saw coming. But losing Jamie so suddenly and unexpectedly has left us feeling shortchanged by the wonderful presence she brought into our daily lives. Yes, they were our family, but they were also our friends, and they both brought so much laughter to the world.
