Who we are
Everywhere Still exists because love doesn’t end. We carry our loved ones with us into every new adventure. Their soul is always a part of the story… past, present, and future.
And sometimes, physical reminders, like seeing the words EVERYWHERE STILL, just help us believe a bit more deeply.
Our son, AJ, was the kind of kid who came alive outside. He didn’t just do adventure; he belonged to it. Hockey rinks, ski slopes, golf courses, fishing boats, the family cabin… those were his places. His refuge. His joy. His peace. AJ’s love for adventure took him to Colorado, where he worked at Breckenridge Ski Resort. He wanted to snowboard as much as possible, live in the awe of the mountains, and breathe the crisp fresh air.
AJ was just finding his independence, his place in the world, when he was diagnosed with AML (acute myeloid leukemia) at age 19. Overnight, the life he was building was replaced with hospital rooms, brutal conventional treatments, and horrible side effects. In the spare moments, he used every supportive and alternative therapy we could reach for. He did everything possible to hold onto hope and his life. Through all of the horrible, AJ still found ways to escape. Some days it was just sitting outside in the sun. On better days it was a round of golf with a buddy or a weekend at the cabin. Fresh air was medicine, and the sky was a reminder that life was still bigger than cancer.
AJ fought with everything he had. He wanted to live—fiercely. He wanted to travel, get back to Breck, play in the ocean, throw a Frisbee on the beach, laugh with his friends, tease his siblings and cousins, drink a beer, and eat good food with the people he loved. He had so many dreams, and he fought hard to return to them.
To our devastation, AJ began his heavenly adventure on February 16th, 2025, at 22 years old. We held his hands and did the hardest thing humanly possible… loved him all the way to his eternal home.
This shop is AJ’s legacy—created to keep telling his story through the things he loved most: adventure, simple joys, a beautiful view, good food, and the outdoors. The photos used are images AJ captured himself—his eye, his perspective—moments from his life that tell a story. The logos are inspired by his favorite places and the things that brought him peace. Every item is a reminder that AJ is still with us—woven into every mountain view, every lake day, every new trail, and every wide-open sky.
100% of the proceeds from sales and donations will go directly toward supporting families facing the heartbreak and chaos of childhood/young adult cancer—because we know firsthand what this road costs in every way: emotionally, physically, and financially. Our hope is that AJ’s legacy becomes a kind of shelter—helping other families breathe, get through the next hard day, and feel less alone.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for carrying AJ with us.
With love and gratitude, AJ and family
