A fundraiser was started on October 25 for Shellaway’s family. The GoFundMe campaign set an ambitious goal of $100,000.

In five short days, an incredible $17,445 has already been raised by 162 different donations.

Friends, families, nonprofits, and anonymous strangers have contributed to the campaign.

The fundraiser includes the following note:

Jason was a wonderful father and husband. On top of that, he was a tremendous friend, son and brother. Jason always put a smile on the face of the people around him. He was a wonderful person and will be missed by thousands! Though he is not here with us today, his name will be spoken on this earth for years to come. When great people leave us, it is difficult. Today is hard, and he has earned that by being who he was. We miss you Jason!

We are raising money to help support his wonderful family. Please help them by helping us raise money. Thank you for your kindness and generosity, it will be greatly appreciated! We are all here for you!!!
