Tragedy struck on September 17, 2025, when CJ — a beloved husband, father, and valued member of his community — died in a devastating car accident. His sudden passing has left his wife, Samantha Dvorak, and their three young children, Drake (7), Adeline (5), and Millie (3), heartbroken and facing a future without the man who meant everything to them.
CJ and Samantha married in 2019, building a life filled with love, laughter, and family traditions. Their home was a warm haven, where giggles echoed through the halls and family dinners were cherished moments of connection.
SUPPORT THE FAMILY - GOD BLESS YOU
Friends and relatives describe CJ as a man whose boisterous personality could light up any room. He lived for his family, treasuring his role as a husband and father. With Drake, he shared hunting trips and outdoor adventures, passing along his passion for the outdoors. With his daughters, Adeline and Millie, he found joy in being a devoted and protective dad, proudly calling them his “little princesses.”
CJ also forged strong bonds beyond his immediate household, particularly with his father-in-law, Pete. Whether working together in the shop or sharing laughter, CJ was more than just a son-in-law — he was family in every sense of the word.
The loss of CJ has created both an emotional and practical void. Samantha, a dedicated stay-at-home mom, now faces the immense challenge of raising three young children while managing the financial strain of funeral expenses and daily living costs.
In the wake of this tragedy, the community has rallied to support Samantha, Drake, Adeline, and Millie. Friends, neighbors, and the preschool community where the children have been enrolled are offering meals, prayers, and donations, reminding the family that they are not alone. One heartfelt message from the preschool read:
“Our preschool family is heartbroken to share that a father from our preschool family, CJ, tragically passed away in a car accident early this morning. CJ was a loving husband and devoted father to three sweet children — Drake, Adeline, and Millie — who have been part of our preschool community over the years.”
Though his passing is an unbearable loss, CJ’s life is remembered as one defined by love, laughter, and unwavering devotion. He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, strength, and family values that will continue to guide Samantha and the children in the years to come.
CJ’s story is a powerful reminder to cherish every moment with loved ones, to embrace joy in simple things, and to carry forward the love that defines a family.
May CJ rest in peace, and may Samantha, Drake, Adeline, and Millie find comfort in the outpouring of love and support surrounding them during this difficult time.
