"I'm seeking help to honor my beloved Uncle Mike with the celebration of life he truly deserves. Uncle Mike recently passed away unexpectedly from a stroke, and due to family conflicts, no memorial service is currently planned. This breaks my heart, as he was not just my uncle, but my best friend and a pillar of our family.

Uncle Mike was the kind of person who never hesitated to help others. For years, he helped raise two of his sister's children when she couldn't care for them. As a hardworking plumber, he built a comfortable life with his wife, yet always remained generous and available to any family member in need.

My vision is to host a meaningful celebration of life at El Monte Park, near where we previously planted trees for my grandmother (his mother) and my cousin Eric. I'd like to plant a tree in his memory and gather for a casual service - nothing fancy, just as he would have wanted.

 - Food
 - Tree planting
 - Music
 - Printed programs with eulogy
 - Photographs

 - Chairs & Tables

While I've recently started a new job and can't fund this myself, I believe Uncle Mike deserves to be remembered properly for his big heart and dedication to family. It pains me deeply to know that without intervention, his ashes would remain forgotten. Any contribution, no matter the size, would help give him the memorial he deserves - a proper celebration of the amazing person he was and how much he'll be missed, though never forgotten.

I would be eternally grateful for any support in helping me honor this remarkable man who touched so many lives."
