Help Lay Dennis Kato to Rest: A Family's Plea

Hello everyone, our names are Melissa and Amanda, and we are two of the five stepchildren of Dennis Kato.

With devastation in our hearts, we need to extend our hand and reach out for help. On Thursday, April 10th, 2025, Dennis peacefully entered paradise. Without any signs or warnings, he gained his wings. We are not ready to lose him. We never were and never will be. However, my mother is lost. She lost not only her soulmate but her best friend.

With the unexpected loss of her husband, she knows that she needs to lay him to rest. We are asking our friends, family, and community to donate or even share this post to help with the costs of laying him to rest. Any and all proceeds will go to the funeral home, cemetery, and to my mother to offset some of the expenses she has until she can figure things out.

Dennis was her everything. He made sure the bills were paid, and food was in the home. She is broken, and us kids are trying to make things a little easier on her. So, again, please, if you can, consider donating or even sharing to help our family in need. Dennis was an amazing man. He took on 5 kids that were not his own, just to spend his life with my mother. We never were considered a burden to him; he loved each and every one of us as if we were his own.

Our hearts are extremely heavy, and we hate having to ask for help. Thank you, everyone, for your time and your generosity.
