Still in shock over their loss, Linklater鈥檚 devastated little sister Summer Muzyka has set up a GoFundMe account to help Linklater鈥檚 widow and their children during their grief.

鈥淎ndrew has left behind Donna his partner for 16 years and the mother of his children, Ashton & Sienna, Josh & Brentyn,鈥 Muzyka said on the GoFundMe page.

鈥淲e are all so devastated. We are in disbelief. We are hurting. We don鈥檛 know how we will ever find happiness again.鈥

In its first day, the fund collected $12,150 of the $20,000 goal.

鈥淟ife is already so expensive and Donna can鈥檛 go to work until she makes sure her kids are okay and doing better. With no dual income and funerals expenses, bills, rent, groceries, gas, and all the bills are piling up,鈥 Muzyka explained.

鈥淚 want to take this financial burden from her so she can [grieve] properly, take care of herself and the kids (my nephews and niece) and not worry about all the bills,鈥 she continued.

鈥淲hoever can help out the family during this tragic time in their lives, any donation is so greatly appreciated.鈥
