In lieu of flowers, the Gentile family greatly appreciates your consideration in donating to a memorial fund as we navigate the unexpected death of our father, Michael.

A portion of the proceeds raised will be donated to benefit JDRF, a non-profit organization funding type 1 diabetes research–a disease that Michael unknowingly struggled with.

The remaining portion will be dedicated to supporting his children as our family tries to navigate finances during these difficult times.

More information about JDRF: JDRF is the leading charitable funder and advocate of type 1 diabetes research worldwide. The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications through the support of research.
