Help pay for my brothers funeral

Alex Ekern aka Phoenix has passed away at the young age of 23 in a tragic kayaking accident on May 1st 2019 after a major thunderstorm came through the previous day. He is survived by his mother Margaret Ekern and his brother Tristan Wilkes. He was recovered the following day by rescue responders. We are needing help with raising funds to pay for his funeral. Any help would be more than appreciated. He was loved by so many and deserves to have a beautiful funeral to honor his life. He was a caring and giving man. He would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. This picture truly represents his goofy fun loving self.
