A group of teachers has started an online fundraiser to help the family of Khandyn "KJ" Jones with funeral expenses.
They wrote, "KJ was a bright, kind young person who touched the lives of many, and his absence is deeply felt by everyone who knew him."
One of his relatives told ABC11 that the family, especially his mother, is dealing with the heartbreak and going through a lot of emotions.
The family painted a message on the windows of their home, reading "Long Live KJ."
