End of life costs for father's death

Hello community, family and friends...

We received news this week that our dear father passed away.

His death was unexpected and under challenging circumstances to say the least.

As his children, we were left with expenses that create an extreme financial burden in handling the basic and overwhelming completion of things.

Our dad, Paul Michael, as many of you know, lived his life in service with a foundation of love.

Paul Katzovitz Michael was born in Minneapolis, MN to Harvey and Harriette June.

He leaves behind his children Avesha, Aaron and Devan.

Loving and generous, he was a talented musician, photographer, painter, MSIA minister, practitioner of non-violent communication, wedding officiant and baby blesser.

Our father supported unendingly all things creative and so supported the arts in all forms.

Our artistry and expression in this world is an extension of what our dad nurtured in us.

Everything helps right now for the overhwelming expenses from handling his remains, to ceremonial, to the long list of logistical things that we must handle at a time we are deeply grieving.

We will be donating any excess funds raised to a non-profit organization that was dear to him.

The Heartfelt Foundation, part of the family of the beautiful communites of MSIA, Insight and USM of which he supported his children over the years.

For this we are so very grateful.

Thank you with all of our hearts, as we honor our beloved father at this time.
