Roberts was on vacation in Palm Springs when he began experiencing multiple organ failure. A day after Roberts had been admitted to the hospital, a GoFundMe was organised in order to help fund medical costs and provide support to his family. 

The GoFundMe description states:  “He’s currently battling for his life in the ICU, facing heart, liver, and kidney failure, among other dangerous ailments. We need him to focus on healing and stabilizing, so we’re asking his family, friends, and community for support. We need to raise funds for his bills (rent, car, utilities, etc.) and medical costs to relieve any stress while he is in the hospital. We’re also raising money for his mother, Lori, and partner, Josh, to be able to stay in Palm Springs by his side. Neither of them lives in California, so they will need funds for their long-term stays and food since they cannot work.” 

‘Love Of My Life’

On November 28, Thomas stated that Roberts’ kidneys had regained their function “coming back from end-stage kidney failure”, while his heart was unable to support him and would require a heart transplant in the future. 

Thomas had called his partner a “fighter” and had thanked people who had donated to the GoFundMe and “have been checking in, donating, and sending good energy.”

In his post, Thomas dedicated a heartfelt message to his partner, calling him the “love of my life who showed what it was like to be loved unconditionally”.

“You came into my life when I wasn’t expecting and surprised me. Being with you helped me grow and evolve in ways I didn’t know I was capable of. I know I challenged you too. Not because we were diminished in some way but because we saw in one another the potential for something more,” the note read. 

GoFund Me Campaign To Cover Funeral Costs

Thomas thanked Roberts for his support and unconditional love during their time together, for “seeing who I am in full” and for “letting me love you as you are.”

“I know you told your Mum I was the one you’d spend the rest of your life with. You kept that promise. If I knew on the first day we met, what I know now, I wouldn’t change a thing. I’m so grateful to have known a love like yours. You don’t have to fight anymore Bubba. You can rest now honey, you deserve it,” Thomas wrote. 

The GoFundMe will now be used to cover the costs of Roberts’ funeral. The page has currently raised over $14,000 USD of its $30,000 goal.
