Jeffrey Kato Memorial Fund

Family Man. Those are the two words that come to mind when you think of Jeffrey Kato. He was a man that loved his family more than anything, and there isn't a thing in this world that he wouldn't have done for them. Whether is was babysitting one (or all) of his grandbabies, or rushing over to fix a sibling's busted pipes, Jeffrey was the first one you could count on when you needed a helping hand. 

He had a passion of cooking, camping, fishing, and Bingo, and enjoyed getting to share these special moments with his family and friends. Whether it was a day at the lake, or a day spent making a family meal, you  would almost certainly see Jeffrey sporting a smile on his face (and showing off those infamous dimples). 

Unfortunately, Jeffrey's time was cut short much too soon and put the family in an unimaginable situation. Jeffrey unexpectedly passed away on Tuesday, April 13th at the young age of 57. As you could imagine this is horrible in and of itself, but on top of that, the family was already dealing with the recent death and funeral planning for Darlene's (his wife) mother. So not only is his family in the middle of dealing with this horrible grief, they now have this sudden shock of losing their rock and patriarch, and suddenly having to switch gears to plan 2 funerals back-to-back for 2 of the closest people to them.  

Jeffrey is survived by his wife Darlene, children Jeff Jr., Nicole, Jasmine, and Brittnie, 7 beautiful grandchildren, along with several siblings, nieces, nephews and extended family.   

100% of the proceeds will go directly to the Kato family to help with funeral and misc. expenses related to this tragic event. Thank you for prayers and support during this difficult time.
