On the funding page, Channa Holloway wrote: “Our family has been left heartbroken by the sudden and devastating loss of our beloved brother, who sadly took his own life.
“There are no words to describe the pain we are feeling.
“Losing someone we love so dearly is something we never imagined we would have to face, and coming to terms with the fact that he is no longer here is incredibly difficult.
“He was more than just a brother. He was a son, a family member, and someone who will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
“His life mattered, he was loved more than words can ever explain, and he will never be forgotten.
“We have set up this GoFundMe to help support our family during this heartbreaking time and to help cover the costs of his funeral and give him the loving and dignified send-off he deserves.
“We never expected to find ourselves writing something like this. We are simply a family trying to navigate the unimaginable while grieving someone who meant the world to us.
“Fly high, our beautiful boy. You will always be loved, always be missed, and forever be in our hearts. Until we meet again.”
