I’m so sorry about your dad. If you love your school, though, I would hesitate to recommend a full-blown transfer right now. Go discuss your options at your current school with your advisor. You may well be able to take a leave of absence and pick up a few classes at the local school, without giving up the ability to go back and graduate from your current school. If your current school offers online sections of any classes, doing that from home could be an option. Or just take the time off, entirely, and focus on maximizing time with your dad. Then see how things are going before making a decision to transfer. No need to be hasty about giving up a school that you love; that’s what leaves-of-absence are for. All the best to you and your family.
