Mari's Unexpected Passing: Family Needs Help
Leothis Daniel, affectionately known as Mari, had a spirit that lit up every room he entered. Born on August 14, 2004, he was just days away from celebrating his 21st birthday—a milestone he had looked forward to with joy and anticipation. Tragically, his life was cut short far too soon on August 2, 2025, leaving behind a heartbroken family and a community still trying to make sense of the sudden loss.
Mari was known for his kind heart, infectious laughter, and the deep love he had for those around him. He was a brother, a son, a friend—someone who never hesitated to give, even when he had little. His energy was magnetic, and his dreams were big. Now, instead of preparing for a birthday celebration, his loved ones are preparing to lay him to rest.
This unexpected loss has placed an emotional and financial burden on his family. They are now asking for support from the community to give Mari the proper send-off he deserves—one filled with love, peace, and dignity.
Any help, whether through donations or simply sharing his story, means the world to those grieving his loss. Let’s come together to honor Mari’s life and ensure his memory lives on.
