In Loving Memory of Demetrius (Funeral Expenses)

Donation protected
Hi my name is Valerie Kelly and for those of you who haven't been informed, my brother suddenly passed away on Fathers Day , Sunday June 19th of a heart attack. Demetrius was hardworking, charismatic, fun loving and everyone that ever met him he left a lasting impression. Demetrius and I were raised by a single mom, so he often filled the role of not just my brother, but a father figure as well. He is survived by his 4 children Isaac, Demetrius Jr., Corey and Christyna , his one and only daughter and love of his life.

Although My brother battled with Kidney failure and dialysis treatments and frequent hospital stays for many years, he tried his best to be strong and to live a normal life. He had recently turned 50 and was making plans for the future with his children, family and close friends, especially his daughter's graduation from college this coming winter. His passing was a shock to us all and he will truly be missed. We as a family are asking for donations at this time to give him a proper home going. Our goal is to raise $12,000 to $15,000 to cover the cost of (funeral services, casket, burial and repast) There is no donation to small, every little bit helps and will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.
