He is survived by his wife Nancy, and children Olivia, Isabella and Robert.
A GoFundMe page set up to help the family had raised nearly $5,000 by Tuesday afternoon.
“All the money raised will go directly to Nancy and the kids and help offset the cost of funeral arrangements,” the page states.
“He was a kindhearted and genuine man that always had a smile on his face and could be counted on for a bear hug. He was a proud father and loving husband who was always there for his family,” the page states.
