After Kyle Savage, Jr.'s Parents Were Killed In A Car Crash, A College Surprised Him

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — Just days before his high school graduation, Kyle Savage, Jr.'s parents Kyle and Charlene were killed in a fiery car crash leaving behind the 17-year-old and his 14-year-old brother Knico. Family and friends immediately rallied around the kids and quickly put together a Facebook fundraiser to generate money to send Kyle Jr. to college. He has been accepted to Hampton University.

But this week, the president of the university penned a personal letter to Kyle Jr. offering his condolences and giving him a full-tuition scholarship for four years of college, assuming he stays in good standing at the school, reports WUSA. Kyle Jr. is a senior a DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville.

The Facebook fundraiser created by family friend Kester Irwin Hanley Crosse II to date has raised more than $200,000, which will help support the boys.

DeMatha Catholic High School shared on its Facebook page Sunday afternoon that many people have asked how they can help the Savage family. The school currently is accepting gift cards that it will pass along to the kids and their caregivers. The school also posted that the family "is also working on a Trust Fund" and "will share that information when we have it."

A celebration of life will be held for the Savages June 6 with visitation at 10 a.m. and a service following at 11 a.m. at First Baptist Church of Glenarden's Worship Center, 600 Watkins Park Drive, Upper Marlboro.

"I know they're smiling because they see the people who are reaching out," Charlene's sister Linda Hunter told People about her late sister and brother-in-law. "Coming out just wanting to support the boys and asking what they can do."

Speaking with NBC station WRC-TV, Hunter added, "The family's hurting, but we just need peace that surpasses all understanding because we don't know how this can be."

Police say Kyle and Charlene Savage's car left Annapolis Road for an unknown reason, hit a pole then caught on fire.
