Marty loved everyone he knew, and tried to help anyone that needed him. He was a kind and good soul. Despite his extremely challenging and difficult life, he always put his best foot forward, and he always tried his best to stay positive. He was on his way to bigger and better things, and his untimely passing comes as a shock to all that knew him. Now, he needs our help to put together the funds for a proper burial and funeral. I have set the goal at 10k because that is what these things cost - 7-10k. For Marty, we can do 10k. If we come together, we can all do this for him - he would have done it for any one of us. $50 from 100 people is 5k. $50 from 200 people is 10k. This is VERY doable, and we all need to come together to do right by Marty in a world that never did right by him. We need to raise these funds as soon as possible, so please share this with everyone you know, and with everyone that knew him. Let's honor his memory by coming together to do this one last thing for him. Love, peace, and condolences to all of his friends and family. We love you Marty - may you rest in peace brother <3



About the Campaign Organizer (as per the request of the GoFundMeTeam): My name is Tim Regan, and I am Marty "Starkz" Starkweather's cousin, son of Marty's uncle, John Regan Jr.. I grew up in Rochester NY but currently reside in Toronto. The funds raised for this campaign are specifically for the services surrounding Marty's funeral (The Funeral Mass/church service, payment to the funeral home for their services, burial services, and to contribute to the headstone with any remaining funds after the Funeral home (Anthony Funeral Chapels Inc. 2305 Monroe Ave in Rochester) and other service providers have been paid. Marty's immediate family could not raise the funds alone to setup this funeral service unfortunately, so I was asked by my father, on behalf of him and on behalf of Marty's immediate and extended family, to start this GoFundMe campaign and try to garner some financial support. The funds will be used only for the above mentioned services - I will withdraw them to my personal account and then wire them to the appropriate parties involved in the funeral services. The funeral will be held on Saturday Dec. 2nd at Blessed Sacrament Church at 534 Oxford st. in Rochester NY at 10am.
