We recently had the honor of welcoming a very special guest to the Building a Refuge Podcast — my stepfather, KD DelFabro. KD has been a constant in my life for over 40 years. He’s a successful Indianapolis business leader, a trusted advisor to countless clients, a former executive board member, an incredible grandfather to our kids, and a devoted husband to my mom. But beyond the titles, KD’s life is a powerful testament to resilience and faith.
He has endured some of life’s deepest losses — including the tragic loss of his daughter and my brother to suicide. He survived a heart attack that nearly took his life and has courageously battled cancer over the past two years. Through it all, KD has remained grounded in his faith in Jesus Christ and committed to living life fully, with purpose and gratitude.
This conversation is raw, honest, and deeply hopeful. KD opens up about grief, perseverance, faith, and what it means to keep moving forward when life knocks you down. Hence the title to KD's story "Avanti Sempre" Alway keep moving forward !
🎧 I hope you’ll take a moment to listen — and if this episode resonates with you, please share it with someone who may need encouragement today. Real stories. Real faith. Real hope.
