Jon Niemi was found unresponsive at his Northborough home around 10:40 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 17, Northborough Police said on Facebook. He was pronounced dead a few moments later by fire and EMS crews, police said.
"Jon you will be greatly missed," one Facebook user wrote. "Such a good kid taken way too soon! We love and miss you! I just can't believe this is real."
According to a GoFundMe organized in his honor, Jon suffered from "health issues" and his death was "unexpected."
"There is no worse tragedy than the loss of a child. Today, the Niemi family is faced with that tragedy," the GoFundMe reads. "We hope to alleviate any financial stress of a funeral and other related expenses for the Niemi family as they grieve during this horrible time."
The campaign had raised more than $3,600 of its $20,000 goal as of Sunday. People can donate by clicking here.
