Help Us Honor Duane Coates' Memory

Dear friends, family, and compassionate strangers,

 

It is with a mix of sorrow and reflection that I share the passing of my father Duane Coates, who left us unexpectedly on Friday July 26th. While our relationship was different and he was distant at times, he had a kind heart and a strong desire for a fresh start.

 

Duane faced many challenges and struggles, but he never gave up on his dreams of turning things around. Despite not having much materiality, he always tried to show kindness to those around him. His life, though filled with ups and downs, was a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

 

As we come to terms with his passing, we are faced with the challenge of covering his funeral expenses. Due to his circumstances, there were no preparations in place for this event, and the costs are beyond our means

 

We are reaching out to you, our community, for support in giving Duane a dignified farewell. The funds raised will go towards covering the funeral services and celebration of life gathering, allowing us to honor his memory and the goodness that he carried in his heart.

 

Our goal is to raise $2,500, which will cover:

 

• Funeral Services

• Celebration of Life for Friends and Family

 

Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference and help us provide a proper farewell for my father. If you are unable to donate, sharing this with others would also be a tremendous help

 

Thank you for your kindness, support and understanding during this difficult time.

 

With gratitude, Zach and Mae Allen
