Laying David to Rest with Grace and Honour
Dearest Family and Friends,
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of David Aaron Romlewski at the young age of 27. On March 18th, 2025, while travelling abroad, David suddenly collapsed and lost consciousness. He was taken to the hospital and died soon after. There were no known preexisting health conditions, no prior symptoms or warnings.
David was a beloved husband of just 6 months, and a loving son and brother to his family. He will be greatly missed. We ask for your prayers and financial aid to help cover the medical costs incurred abroad, costs of shipping David's body back to Canada, and the funeral in his home country, Canada. Thank you so much for your generous support.

Jesus has said to those who were at his right: receive the kingdom of my father.
David you were (and still are) a bright shining star. I still have a Sacred Heart of Jesus prayer card you gave me two years ago, and I cherish it even more knowing that you're no longer here. May you already be in Heaven, my little brother. Thank you for your amazing witness of faith, courage, persistence. Please pray for all of us.
Eternal rest grant unto David, O Lord, and let Your perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.

UPDATE
Thanks to your generous support we were able to pay for the funeral home’s services in Jamaica and David’s repatriation. The cost of this was just under $10,000 CAD. David’s body can now be shipped back to Canada. Once in Canada, the body will be sent to the coroner to be examined and afterwards a funeral can be held. The dates are still to be determined.
Many, many thanks and blessings to all those who sent prayers and donations. The fundraiser is still ongoing as we still have to pay the funeral home in Canada as well as a hospital bill in Jamaica so please continue to spread the word for prayers, shares and donations. Thank you.
