Early on May 14, 2017, our world was forever changed when we lost our loved one, James Kempski. He was a father, husband, son, brother, and friend. It's been a difficult week and as we continue to grieve we must also plan a memorial.

James was only 25 and therefore had no contingency in place to help cover the memorial costs or even to help his family through the future hurdles they may face. Therefore, this campaign is organized by his family. It intends to defray any immediate costs as well as any future unforeseen costs.

We'd like to thank you in advance for any donation, or form of support (prayers, memories, or comments) you give during this most troubling time.

As a side note, we will be having an intimate immediate family only memorial at sea but if enough money is raised we will be able to have a memorial for all those who loved him to participate in.
