Fund to Help with Bel Air HS Student's Funeral Costs

Friends of Marvin Hernandez, one of two Bel Air High School students killed in a crash Friday, have set up a fundraising site to help cover the costs for his funeral.

Marvin Eudiel Hernandez, 16, of the 800 block of George Street in Bel Air, died after the vehicle he was in hit a tree in Kingsville.

His friends created a GoFundMe page for people to contribute to his memorial services, stating: “These donations will help the family with funeral costs .... Funerals are expensive, and they have a newborn baby at home.” The family was not involved in the fundraising.

The goal is to raise $3,000. As of 11:20 p.m. on Monday, the page had raised $525.

The funeral for fellow student Ryan Harris is scheduled for Friday.
