Reply to comment by McJumpington in GoFund Me for Alex Yerkey, the man killed in yesterday's tragic shooting. by Evening_Ad_2906

Death costs a lot. My friend recently died and aside from the cremation and funeral, his shitty landlord wanted rent from his family, there’s moving and storage for their stuff, transportation for loved ones to the funeral, etc. It’s better for them to be prepared for all of it and not have to worry at all about money.

I’d imagine whatever isn’t used will be donated in his name.

Good point about the family - if you have half extended family several states away- it’d be great to cover their costs and lodging

Yeah, in my friend’s case we actually covered the basic services with a Gofundme, but his friends and family ended up paying thousands more for stuff like that. I hope Alex’s family at least doesn’t have to think about anything in that realm, this is so horrible and tragic.
