It is with great sadness that I am writing this out. I am finding it hard to believe and even harder to say but my wonderful, loving wife of 15 years, Jenn Salazar, has passed away. On October 15 at 8:16am, she took her last breath and passed away peacefully and surrounded by our family and supporters.

Her battle with Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer has come to an end. She fought to the very end to be with us. The courage she showed, the love she gave us, and her ability to make us smile until the end has made this journey bearable.
