Support for the Bakewell family

My name is Taylor Jones and I am a friend of the family and have been given permission to start this fundraiser.

It is with a heavy heart that we share a beloved father, son, brother, friend and more was tragically and wrongfully taken from us on Thursday (6/5/25) during an encounter with law enforcement. A thorough investigation is underway as the press release and articles being shared are not accurate according to many witnesses. We are humbly asking for any financial support the community can offer the family as they navigate funeral expenses, and providing for his three children as they now have to grow up without a father.

Thank you for your love and support as we navigate this unbearable and unbelievable situation. Anything helps, even just a share. Let’s bring this family the justice and support they deserve.
