Former Spiritbox bassist Bill Crook passed away earlier this month. Now his friend Kai Turmann is trying to help out Crook's mother Linda with the memorial service costs. Turmann has since launched a GoFundMe seeking $20,000 CAD, which is currently sitting at just over $30,000 CAD in donations.
Still, you should consider donating to the GoFundMe right here to help someone out in a very difficult moment.
"Last week, we lost a beloved friend and family member, Bill Crook. My name is Kai Turmann, and Bill and I have been best friends since we were 10 years old," wrote Turmann on the GoFundMe. "So many people are grieving Bill's passing, but none more than his wonderful mother, Linda. Bill was Linda's only child, and she loved him so, so much.
"While she navigates this unimaginable loss, I'm reaching out to Bill's large network of friends and loved ones to ask for any donations that can help Linda cover the costs of the memorial, and any other expenses she is incurring during this incredibly difficult time. We know that many of you wish to celebrate Bill's life with those who loved him, and we will share details about a Memorial Service once finalized, with an option to attend virtually for those unable to be present.
"Every dollar donated will go directly to Linda. This fundraiser has been created with her blessing, as well as her expressed gratitude and love to all of us who loved Bill.
"'Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the force.'
"We'll miss our friend."
Current Spiritbox vocalist Courtney Laplante added on her Instagram: "With the blessing of Bill's incredible mother, @kaiturmann has created a godfundme for Bill's memorial service, to support her with all these sudden costs. Bill is her only child."
