My twin brother, William, passed away on January 6th, 2025.
He sustained severe brain damage, incapable of recovery, after being assaulted while in custody at the Department of Corrections. For those who didn't know him, he suffered from paranoid schizophrenia for the majority of his adult life.
Alaska's lack of resources for treating mental illness and limited community support unfortunately robbed him of the ability to live a normal life
I am grateful that he was at least comfortable and without pain in his last moments. He was 36 years old.
William,
Thank you for being my twin, my protector, and my best friend. I love you infinitely. Give Mama a hug for me 💔
Over the years, income from my artwork has helped me support my brother. In his absence, I will be donating a portion of my proceeds to the Schizophrenia & Psychosis Action Alliance, and Alaska Dog & Puppy Rescue
