Gary Carlisle, who tragically lost his life following a brutal assault on March 12th, passed away a week later, leaving his family and the community in shock and mourning. Leah, Gary’s niece, initiated the GoFundMe campaign to assist with the “substantial costs” associated with giving him a proper farewell.
“My family would probably hate the fact that I’ve done this, as they’re not ones who normally ask for any type of help,” Leah wrote on the GoFundMe page.
“But I think under the circumstances and shock of what happened I would just like to do something to try to raise any help what so ever towards the substantial costs to give Gary the best possible send off in which he deserves.”
The page has quickly become a focal point for community members to express their condolences and offer financial support.
Many have shared memories of Mr Carlisle, describing him as a “big character” and someone who was always willing to lend a helping hand.
“It’s proven that Gary was very loved in our community and was a big character, he would help anybody at the drop of a hat without question. And I just hope we can do the same for him now,” Leah stated on the funding page.
The GoFundMe campaign also serves as a testament to the family’s dedication to Gary, with Leah highlighting the countless hours they spent at the hospital supporting him. She hopes the funds raised will provide them with some much-needed respite during this heartbreaking time.
The campaign has resonated deeply with the community, with donations pouring in from individuals touched by Gary’s life and the tragic circumstances of his death.
The page also provides a platform for people to leave messages of support and share their memories of Gary, further emphasizing the impact he had on the Moor Nook community.
As the murder investigation continues, the GoFundMe campaign offers a tangible way for the community to show their support and help the Carlisle family navigate this incredibly difficult period.
