With profound sorrow and heavy hearts, we share that our businesses will be temporarily closed until further notice due to the passing of our beloved son.
This is an unimaginable loss, and during this time our family is prioritizing grief, healing, and honoring his life. We are uncertain at this moment when operations will resume and sincerely ask for your patience, grace, and understanding.
We appreciate your continued support and will share updates regarding reopening when we are able.
With heavy hearts, we want to thank everyone for the overwhelming love, prayers, calls, text messages, visits, and every act of kindness shown to our family during this unimaginable time.
We are deeply grateful for the gestures of support extended to us in honor of our beloved son, Xavier (Zay). Every act—big or small—has meant more to us than words can express.
Zay was deeply loved, and the outpouring of love shown to our family is a true reflection of the impact he had on so many lives.
As we prepare to lay our son to rest, we kindly ask that you honor Zay’s wishes: he never wanted his picture placed on shirts, so we respectfully ask that no shirts be made with his photo.
Family members/friends can call the hotel directly at 205-722-0360, option #0 for Front Desk or ext. #377 for Sales.
Mention: Zay’s Celebration of Life
We love you all and thank you for continuing to keep our family in your prayers.
