Support Donald Blakeley's Final Farewell

My name is Christian Blakeley and my father, Donald Blakeley has passed away due to a sudden heart attack.

My dad had been suffering from COPD, congestive heart failure and many other health complications over the past few years. He always had a huge smile on his face and an upbeat, positive energy despite his heart working at 10%. His presence was felt by everyone he was around. He truly helped so many people in so many different ways and he will be missed by all who knew him. I am proud to be his son. However, I'm twenty three years and have to do the unthinkable: laying my dad to rest. This is something I was not prepared to do, emotionally or financially.

That being said, I'm asking for help to cover the expenses of giving him a proper burial service and celebration of life that he deserves. This financial burden in a time where I feel like everything is falling apart with the sudden loss anything will help take some of the stress off my shoulders.

A proper funeral service is the last gift we give to our loved ones and I'm asking for your help to take care of mine and grant his final wishes. He was a special kind of person; giving, genuine, love for so many people and loved by even more. His gift of life to me in this world will not be forgotten, but heavily missed. I know it's not good-bye forever, but until next time.
