Funeral services and expenses for Marc Raab
Donation protected
Hello. My name is Kendra and I am raising funds for Marc and Cheryl Raab. Marc and Cheryl are family to not only me, but so many others, many of whom felt like we had no other family of our own. They never hesitate to help others and are always there with a smile and a warm hug. Now Cheryl needs our help. She lost her beloved husband of 35 years tragically and unexpectedly.
Marc was an incredible man. He was a father that many looked up to. A Papa that embraced his grand children with so much unconditional love. He was a talented artist, with his art often being shown in the downtown area. He even designed the iconic "I" that is home on the front page of the Newsweekly that serves the Pikes Peak Region and Southern Colorado. He loved playing the guitar, whether during family get togethers, or in local bands over the years. He dedicated his life to his family, and caring for others while working in the Healthcare industry. He was the sole provider for the household, and now with his passing we are unsure of what the future holds. We were in no way prepared for this. While Cheryl and the close members of the Raab family navigate this, we ask for help with funeral and memorial support. Funds will also be used for upcoming bills for Cheryl as she is disabled and unable to work. Trying to adjust to this new found "normal" will be monumentally difficult on it's own, and the worry of being able to pay the bills is the smallest thing we can help alleviate. Thank you.
