Honor David Olivas' Wish for a Proper Burial

Hi, I am Helen and I am making this go fund me for my 3 oldest grandsons so they can bury their father! These are the words of my grandsons Matthew, Anthony and Cookie! "Our dad David Olivas, just passed away from heart disease! His heart has been operating at 10-15% for years now. He's held strong for all those years somehow, but just 2 days ago (3/26/2025) he decided it's time to meet God. If you're wondering, on his final night alive before he died the next morning he told us, he was indeed going to heaven, when all signs pointed to him surviving at least for a while longer. He wasn't scared at all, despite in hindsight that it seems he knew it was his final day. He was actually still cracking some of his jokes and making us laugh, and to us we didn't think there was any reason for him to be scared!

Before we ask any of you kind souls for help, we suppose we should tell you a little bit about our dad. He was the funniest and kindest person you'd ever meet. He had a lot of problems, but at his core he was a good man who just wanted to see the best for everyone, and most of all he wanted to make you laugh. He had 9 kids, 7 with our mom and twins with his second wife. Only 4 of us are adults and the rest are either in high school or elementary. They're all good kids and we all just want to give our dad what he wanted. Just a few days before he passed, he told the 3rd oldest, David Jr aka Cookie that he wanted a "ceremony and a burial" and so we are here to see if anyone can help. If you'd like to help us reach our goal, then feel free to donate however much you are comfortable with, Thank you all from Matthew, Anthony and David Jr. Olivas!"
