Died while traveling
The 31-year-old was from North Yorkshire but was in California to visit family when he passed away. Now the family has set up a fundraiser to bring him home.
“You just wouldn’t expect that to happen, especially to a 31-year-old who has been doing an absolutely fantastic job,” his mother, Angela Gannon, says, according to the BBC.
The group must have reached just under 90,000 NOK, while the target is more than double that.
