Geoff Paturel Final Expenses Fundraiser

Donation protected
I am raising money for my nephew, Geoff Paturel's, final expenses. We have raised just enough to have him cremated, but are still a little short on the purchase a nice urn with plaque with the picture of him next to the red heart sculpture on it  for his remains, a burial vault for the cremains, a tombstone for his grave, and flowers to plant yearly & on his birthday at his gravesite, which will be with his grandmother in Woodstock, NY. The final celebration of his life was Sunday, Sept. 27, and I want to thank everyone for attending and contributing. If there are any extra funds I will leave to my sister Peggy to distribute as charity and as she sees fit to the mentally ill or homeless population of Woodstock, NY, to buy them food and clothing in winter up there, which isn't pleasant. We all want something good to come of this tragedy.  Every cent will go directly to his mother/my sister Peggy Zemaitis to make sure Geoff gets a proper burial.  I posted an update which shows exactly how all the $ raised as of Sept. 27 was allocated ($2600 cremation, $265 cakes for the wake, $60 paper goods, 4% GoFundMe takes out). He was very loved by everyone who knew him and meant the world to me.  As I said before, if I could trade the rest of my years and give them to him I would gladly do so, so that he would continue to spread love and happiness to everyone.  He was kind, loving and full of life. People called him "Jesus Geoff" and he was truly a free spirit. Hope that spirit is soaring in heaven now until we meet again. (Geoff was taken suddenly in a tragic accident (dragged by a tractor trailer truck) Thursday afternoon 3:54PM September 10th: https://deaddeath.com/geoffrey-paturel-death-cause-of-death-obituary/ )
