As many of you have heard, the remains of an 18 year old man from Cotati were found Nov. 2 at Sonoma State University.  This man was Kirk Kimberly. His violent and tragic death is currently under investigation.  Press Demo - Kirk Kimberly 

As a close friend to Kirk's father, I sympathize with the community's shock and deep remorse for the Kimberly family.  And while officials are diligently working to bring justice to his death, the Kimberly family is still faced with the pain and reality that Kirk will never be returning home.  

I am starting this GoFundMe Account to unite our community and give the Kimberly Family the love and support necessary to survive through this challenging time.   The funds generated will be used towards funeral expenses and hopefully provide some financial relief so they have time to grieve without the stresses of work.  

No parent should ever experience the loss of their own child.  As a friend to the Kimberly Family and a father of soon to be two children myself, I am asking you to show your love and support to the Kimberly Family by donating today.  It is our goal to raise at least $20,000 by December 7, 2016. 

This is a heart wrenching story and I greatly appreciate you taking the time to provide any assistance you can.
