Kaleab Yehenew, 31, died on Sunday, Sept. 4 after he was struck by an unnamed driver on Indian Head Highway near Fort Washington Road on Sept. 1, as previously reported by Daily Voice.
Yehenew's family is remembering him as a man who "dedicated his life to his family and friends", specifically his beloved niece and nephew, according to a GoFundMe organized by loved ones.
The family man reportedly spent a large portion of his time touching the lives of others, spreading the word of God to inspire others at any chance he could.
The bicyclist's family and loved ones have raised over $11,000 in just two short days since the fundraiser has been active, in hopes to honor Kaleab properly to give him the "memorial he deserves".
Police are still investigating the cause of the fatal crash.
