Mark Izu: Moments and Memories a Celebration of Life

[Please RSVP below]


Dear First Voice Family,


We are so deeply touched by the love and support you've shown us. Hearing how Mark impacted your lives has filled our hearts during this difficult time. He lived with passion and purpose, and your love is a beautiful testimony to the man he was.


With joyful hearts, even amidst our grief, we invite you to a celebration of Mark's life. KK will dance, honoring his father through movement, I will tell you our Love Story, his friends will honor his memory with music and spoken word. Many of you have been with us for decades and share our sadness – come join us! Let us take comfort in one another and say farewell to a sweet husband, father and friend.


Much Love,

Brenda and KK
