Sean, a West Orange native and Montclair High School graduate, and his wife Jill, formerly of Cedar Grove, own Solstice Cafe in Hopatcong.
Authorities say the child climbed the ladder at an above-ground pool while he was in the yard with family, News 12 New Jersey reported. The pool was not covered.
Authorities don't expect to file charges, News 12 also reported.
A meal train was also put in place for the family.
Prayers and condolences poured in.
"This is well deserved loving family who have given their all to this community," Mary DeLorenzo said. "May God bless their family during this unexpected tragic loss of their child."
"No words can express the pain that you are going through," another family wrote on the campaign. "We are sending you love and prayers and hope you are able to find strength during this dark time."
