GoFundMe Account Set Up For Long Beach Township Worker Who Died On The Job

Michael Stiles kissed his wife goodbye on March 22 and left for his job as supervisor of the Long Beach Township Water and Sewer Department.

That afternoon, he was tragically killed while at work. The details of his death have not been made public. His sister-in-law Michelle Bernabe Ebeid has set up a gofundme.com page to raise money for his wife and son. Here is what she wrote:

My brother-in-law Mike Stiles was loved by everyone who met him. He would be the first person to come help someone who needed help. He would give you his last penny if need be. He was the kindest, most caring man you could ever be blessed to have in your life.

Mike was tragically killed on Tuesday March 22, 2016 while he was working for the township he works for. He left for work in the morning, kissed my sister Laura goodbye and was gone that afternoon. Mike and Laura shared a love that is beyond compare. They were soulmates. If everyone could have this love the world would be a much more beautiful place. Mike was also step father to my nephew Nick. We never looked upon him as this. He was a father in every meaning of the word.

My sister and Nick have a very long road ahead of them. There are things that were left behind as well as upcoming bills that will be unbearable for them. The costs of Mikes last arrangements alone are alot.

Any donations will be used for any bills that are needed to be taken care of. Mike will never be forgotten and anyone of you that were lucky enough to call him your friend know exactly what I am saying. God Bless you all and I thank you for anything you can do.

Please keep my sister and Nick in your prayers.

A Celebration of Life will be held from 3 p.m.to 7 p.m.on Saturday, March 26, 2016 at the Barnegat Vol. Fire Company, 11 Birdsall Street in Barnegat. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Barnegat Vol. Fire Company at the above address would be appreciated.
