Life is so precious and can change in the blink of an eye. On Friday, October 2nd, a 14 yr old boy in our town was riding his skateboard home when he fell off, resulting in a fatal injury.

The family is well known and dearly loved in the Pequannock community. With boys who have been active in the community, and the mother who is deeply involved in the town, it feels as if everyone knows and loves this family and has a connection with them in some way. The pain of this loss reaches far and wide to our community.

We have set up this Go Fund Me to help their family cover the unexpected funeral expenses, a memorial bench, and other related costs to this loss.

Please show your support in this most devastating time. We are stronger together.

Note: This fundraiser is set up by a friend of the family and all funds will go directly to the mother.
