Help burying our beloved Mark Tyree
My name is Jaja Bakari, and I am rasing money to bury my stepfather, Mark Leroy Tyree.
On August 27th Mark LeRoy Tyree was shot and killed as he was leaving a local Los Angeles resteraunt with my mother. This tragic incident is extremly hard on my family because my 15 year old brother, Mark LeRoy Tyree II, was also shot and killed exactly 2 months prior to my stepfathers murder.
Mark LeRoy Tyree was such a great and loving stepfather to me and the rest of my four siblings. He took the death of his son and my brother, Mark LeRoy Tyree II, very badly but it was his strength that helped our family through everything. Although my family is very saddened by the death of my stepfather, it brings us comfort knowing that he is now at peace with my little brother.
The emotional and financial burden from burying my little brother two months ago made this summer one of the most difficult times of my life. Now having to deal with this burden all over again seems almost unreal.
The money from this GoFundeme account will be used to bury my stepfather, Mark LeRoy Tyree, as my family just used all of our money to bury my little brother, Mark LeRoy Tyree II. As of yet, the funeral date is not set, due to the incident being so recent and the lack of funding for the funeral in general. Ideally, the funeral will be within the next two weeks so my family is doing everything we can to raise the money as soon as possible.
It means a great deal to be able to lay my stepfather to rest properly, seeing as our relationship strengthened so much through the loss of his son and my little brother.
It also means the world to me to raise money for my stepfathers funeral, because I am trying to ease the burden from my mother who witnessed the tragic incident occur. She has already taken the loss of my little brother so hard, and now to lose her husband the same way has added an immense amount emotional pain.
Mark LeRoy Tyree was such a kind, caring, and sweethearted person and my family would be forever grateful for any kind of donations made on his behalf for funeral expenses. It truly would mean the world to my family and I. Thank you and may God bless you.
Psalm 23.
Rest In Peace Mark LeRoy Tyree & Mark LeRoy Tyree II.
