In Loving Memory of Mark Clayman: Support for Final Expenses

Donation protected
After a difficult battle with cancer, my father passed away on April 3, 2025. As many of you know, he was a social butterfly and a lovable goofball, and he made friends with anybody who would listen. He had a boisterous laugh that would fill any room and had a permanent smile on his face. He loved living life to the fullest, being the center of attention, and enjoyed every moment with childlike wonder.

Mark was diagnosed with MDS, a form of blood cancer, in 2023. The diagnosis was devastating for all of us, but we tried to make the most of the time we had left and be the pillar of support he needed.

Over the course of his illness, my mother and our family took on extensive medical expenses — hospital stays, treatments, medications, and in-home care — all of which quickly became overwhelming. On top of that, we’re now handling the funeral costs, which have added another heavy burden in the midst of our grief.

We’re reaching out to our community of family, friends, and kind-hearted strangers for support during this difficult time. Any contribution, no matter how small, will go directly toward helping my mother and our family cover these medical and funeral expenses, helping to ease the financial stress and allow us to focus on honoring our dad’s memory and celebrating the life he lived.

Your generosity, love, and prayers mean the world to us. Thank you for standing with our family as we navigate this loss. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page would also be an incredible help.
