Breitbart- A young man in Otsego, Michigan, is working hard to ensure his local cemeteries are spotless.
Eighth grader Navene Town loves cleaning headstones and a few years ago turned his passion into a business called Navene Cleans Headstones, WZZM reported Wednesday.
His business idea was born when he began a family tree project and found his five-times great uncle’s grave which made him think, “No one should have that dirty of a headstone,” he recalled.
The boy has cleaned almost 150 headstones and charges $20 for one job. However, he does the work for veterans’ families at no charge.

He’s a good kid doing an honorable thing.
Someone will try to destroy him and demoralize him.
My grandparent’s headstone was growing a thick layer of moss in places. I did research and found that there are only two products that are approved by the people who maintain all of the national cemeteries to treat that moss. One is called ‘D2 Biological Solution’ and the other is called ‘Wet It & Forget It’. They attack the moss and don’t do harm to the marble or granite. I acquired some and drove sixty miles last week to treat my grandparent’s granite headstone. I’m glad I did the research because I was going to spray it down with Clorox mixed with an industrial soap I have. I learned that’s the worst thing you can do.
That boy has the right stuff!
It’ll take him far in life!
