Funeral for Artie Jerome Morris

Our beloved friend, Artie, passed yesterday afternoon. Artie was the single greatest friend anyone could ask for, he touched the lives of those around him in ways he never even knew. He leaves behind family and friends who loved him dearly and always will.

Artie lived his life to the absolute fullest and never let a dull moment go by. He was the life of every party, and he was always the first to lend a hand. While it's common to say "You'll never meet another person like him/her" when someone passes - the sentiment rings exceedingly true for Artie. He was a special soul, a once-in-a-lifetime type of friend and we all are hurting in the wake of his loss.

We are all devastated by Artie’s loss and due to the high costs of a funeral service, I would like to make any attempt to raise money to help his family pay the costs. We want to give Artie the memorial he deserves, to honor his memory and say our last goodbyes.

I am currently asking for donations to help cover the cost of Artie’s funeral. Any and every donation is greatly appreciated, I set the goal at $3000 but the more we can help his family the better. Please consider donating, as any amount will truly help during this difficult time.

Thank you so much and have a wonderful day, and as Artie always signed off his uplifting and/or motivational messages, "Stay Golden".

**Edit**: Since the immediate reaction has been so incredibly generous, and I’ve been made more aware of the costs of funeral services and other end-of-life expenses, I’ve raised the goal to 8000. Please help us reach this goal for his family.
