Help Lay Michael Coote to Rest in His Homeland of Jamaica

Donation protected
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Michael Marlan Coote, a beloved husband, devoted father of three, and cherished friend. After a long and courageous battle with cancer, Michael passed away peacefully in his sleep on the morning of June 30, 2025.

Michael was a man of quiet strength, deep compassion, and unwavering love. He was a pillar of strength for his family and a loving father to his three beautiful children, who were his pride and joy. His absence has left an unimaginable void in our lives.

We are reaching out during this difficult time to ask for your help in honoring Michael’s final wish: to be laid to rest in his homeland of Jamaica, surrounded by his extended family and loved ones who wish to say their goodbyes and celebrate his life.

We are raising funds to help cover the cost of:
• Memorial Celebration of Life in Branson, Missouri
• Funeral and burial arrangements in Jamaica
• Transporting Michael’s body to Jamaica
• Travel and related expenses


Any donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference and bring us one step closer to giving Michael the farewell he truly deserves. Your support will also help his wife and children begin the difficult process of healing with the peace of knowing his final wish has been fulfilled.

We are deeply grateful for your love, generosity, and prayers during this time.

Please consider donating or sharing this campaign.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With love,
Jela, Family and Friends
