One of Marana’s founding families has laid the groundwork for a state veterans cemetery.

The Kai family, led by Marana Town Councilman Herb Kai and his brother, John Kai Jr., donated land for a cemetery to the Arizona Department of Veterans Services May 31.

The property, which is between 30 and 35 acres, has been in the Kai family since the mid-1940s. It’s west of Interstate 10, bordered on the west by North Luckett Road and on the north by the Pinal County line. Luckett Road, which is currently unpaved leading into the area, will be paved.
