Dan Bettencourt, Marrero, LA—This morning, the Bettencourt family and their close-knit community are grieving the loss of Dan Bettencourt, affectionately known as Uncle Danny. After enduring a long and hard battle with various illnesses over the past several years, Dan has passed away. The family finds solace in the belief that he is now at peace, free from pain, and reunited with his beloved parents, Charlie and Myrna, his children, Little Danny and Dawn, and his grandson, Dolphy.
Dan’s passing has left a significant emotional and financial burden on his family, as he did not carry life insurance due to his medical issues and being on a fixed income. The family is now reaching out to the community for support in covering his end-of-life expenses. Victoria May, a close family member, has organized a GoFundMe campaign titled "Help Cover Dan Bettencourt’s End of Life Costs," with a goal of raising $3,000. As of now, the fundraiser is in its early stages, with no donations yet, but the family remains hopeful that the kindness of friends, family, and the community will help them through this difficult time.
In response to the news, many people have taken to Facebook to share their condolences and memories of Dan. Tori Estelle shared a heartfelt message, stating, "This morning we lost Dan Bettencourt. Uncle Danny put up a long and hard battle with various illnesses over the last several years. We take comfort in knowing that he is at peace and no longer in pain and reunited with his parents (Charlie and Myrna), children (Little Danny and Dawn) and grandson (Dolphy)."
Scarlett Honey Giambelluca expressed her support, saying, "Sending lots of prayers," while Gail Duffourc encouraged others to contribute, writing, "If we all donate a little something it would add up nicely, no amount is too small. After I figure my bills and see what’s left, I will call in to the Funeral Home tomorrow with a donation. Thanks in advance for all donations to help this family. These are good people."
Other friends, including Rhea Wiggs, who had recently reconnected with Dan, shared their sorrow: "I’m so sorry to hear that. I just reconnected with him last month. He was a sweet person." Natalie Bettencourt and Bernadette Theresa May also shared their condolences, with Natalie stating, "So sorry for the family’s loss. You will be missed. RIP," and Bernadette adding, "RIP Uncle Danny, tell Nick I said hey and we miss him."
The Bettencourt family and their community will remember Dan for his kindness, love, and the strength he showed throughout his life. His legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
We extend our deepest sympathies to the Bettencourt family during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
