On Saturday, August 23rd, our beloved Mark Waterstraat suffered a sudden medical emergency, which doctors believe was caused by a stroke. He was placed in a coma with minimal brain function, and despite the love and care surrounding him, he is not expected to recover. The doctors have shared with us that his time is coming to an end in the next few days.

Mark was a kind, generous soul who touched many. He leaves behind family and friends who loved him dearly, especially his son, Mark Jr., who lives out of state. In this heartbreaking time, we are raising funds to cover Mark's cremation and the costs to transport his remains to his son so that he can be laid to rest with dignity and love.

No one ever expects to face this kind of tragedy so suddenly, and the expenses are overwhelming. Any contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward honoring Mark's final wishes and easing the financial burden on his family.

If you are unable to give, please keep Mark and his family in your prayers and share this page to help us reach others who may be able to support.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, kindness, and generosity during this difficult time.
