A GoFundMe page has since been launched to help cover Half Ounce’s funeral expenses.

“He loved his family and kids so much! He changed his life around and was going to school and was working at UPS,” read the campaign, organized by Joyce Dixon. “He had a big heart and would do anything for his family and friends. He was a hard working and dedicated person. Anything that’s donated will go towards funeral services and towards his child’s. Anything would really help the family say our final goodbyes! And it is very much appreciated!”
