My sweet husband has unexpectedly passed away
On the evening of April 8th I checked my husband, Stephen Quinn Porters location and saw it was a random parking lot in DuPont and not moving up I-5 on his way to work as usual.
I had a feeling something was not right and kept checking to see if he started moving but after an hour of him sitting in that parking lot still I started calling and texting. Texts unread, no answer, no call back, completely out of character for Stephen. After thirty minutes of trying to reach him I called in a welfare check with police. I got a call back from police an hour later that he was found there unresponsive in his car, they were able to get a pulse back but lost it on the way to the hospital and he died in the hospital.
No one can tell me why this happened but he started working nights in lake forest park a week ago so he’s been tired and not feeling well. I know he pulled over into the parking lot around 6:30pm and actually called out of work at 7:06pm but was not responding to calls or texts by 7:30pm.
This is literally my worst nightmare come to life, first we lost my mom, who was living with us, unexpectedly end of September and now we have lost Stephen. I don’t know how we’re going to pay our rent and bills as he was the breadwinner. I don’t know how I am supposed to get through life and raise our kids without him to help, he loved us so much!
We would truly appreciate any and all help at this time, I am dealing with so much even beyond this that I am at my absolute limit.
A friend has started our family this GoFundMe and we would really appreciate if anyone could share, donate, or leave a comment.
