My name is Lisa Dizard-Hayes and I am setting up this fundraiser for my cousin, Kim Martin to assist her in raising funds for her son, Kevin D. Martin, Jr. , (40) of

San Diego, Ca (Syracuse University, 06) who suddenly and tragically died on June 7, 2025.

He was a bright light in our lives and those around him. He had a joyous spirit and was extremely loving, kind, intelligent, and funny. Kevin is missed by all who knew him and has left a hole in our hearts.

I am raising funds to assist with the funeral and associated expenses. Because his passing was unexpected and he lived in California; and Kim is a widow residing in Maryland. The family is not prepared for the significant cost of a funeral service. Which includes but not limited to the burial, and expensive lodging and air travel; and all other associated costs related to the services needed for her to be in attendance. And to give him a dignified farewell and memorial service.

No amount is too small or large to give as we are grateful for anything. We thank you for taking the time out to give anything, including prayers to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Bless you all and thank you.
