Yesterday, our world changed forever as we said goodbye to our incredible father, grandfather, husband, and uncle, Donald Mariette. After a courageous battle with cancer and lung disease, he passed away peacefully, surrounded by the love of his family.

Donald was more than just a title; he was the heart and soul of our family. He was the rock we leaned on, the comedian who always made us laugh, and the wise counsel we sought in times of need. His love knew no bounds, and he touched the lives of everyone he met with his kindness, generosity, and unwavering spirit. He was a devoted husband to Jennifer Chounnavong, a guiding light to his children, and a playful and adoring grandfather to his grandchildren. His absence leaves a void in our lives that can never be filled.

As we navigate this profound loss, we are also faced with the unexpected financial burden of funeral expenses and the ongoing support our family needs during this difficult time. We understand that times are tough for many, but we humbly ask for your support in honoring Donald's memory and providing our family with the means to grieve without the added stress of financial worries. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, support, and generosity.
