Greetings, my name is Rick Mendoza and I am a best friend and “brother” to Drago Lazetich. My brother Drago was a worldwide traveler, independent movie producer, director, martial artist, and a friend and “brother” to thousands of people around the world. He had some health issues and financial difficulties for awhile which wasn’t publicly known from his inner circle in Sydney Australia, Los Angeles and California, Shanghai China, and many parts of the world. He lit up the room wherever he was and would open up his home to anyone who needed a place to stay, a warm meal, and being a good friend who needed one. Recently he collapsed suddenly from cardiac arrest in Sydney and had no life or medical insurance nor any financial assistance. His lady Marianne Kaulima is preparing his unexpected funeral arrangements and needs financial help to cremate him and to send his ashes back to the States and to certain locations to be scattered in his memory. If you can find it in your heart to help, we will make sure that all of the donations will be sent to help defray the costs of the memorial service and funeral arrangements. God bless you for your prayers and condolences. Love, Drago’s friends
