Young Redondo Man Raises Money For Friend's Funeral

REDONDO BEACH, CA – After a young man's death, a close friend wants to offer support to his friend's grieving family. Jacob Grant died the morning of April 22, and he was 22-years-old. He leaves behind two loving parents, three brothers, and an older sister, according to his friend Luke Lezh.

Grant was a pure and humble soul, and "he had the unique ability to appreciate others for who they were, and not for who they ought to be," Lezh wrote.

Lezh said his sincere with is to raise as much money as possible for Grant's family as they prepare for the funeral. He asks that the community joins him in supporting the family by giving "whatever sum your heart allows." He thanks everyone in advance for the selfless and generous gifts.

"Rest easy, Jacob," Lezh wrote. "When you reach those pearly gates, don't pause, because we'll see you one day and laugh together again."

Although the fundraising goal of $1,000 has been reached, the fundraiser continues. If you would like to contribute to the memorial fundraiser of Jacob Grant, please visit GoFundMe.
