Jesus Gotay was on the southbound side of Route 9 in Howell between Alexander Avenue and Ford Road when he was struck by a 53-year-old Deal resident at 1:55 a.m. on Thursday, June 2. No summonses had been issued.
Gotay's father, Alex, launched a GoFundMe page that had raised more than $9,700 as of June 7."A parent’s worst nightmare," Gotay said he had just spoken to his son — "and now he is gone.
"I am completely numb, He leaves behind my beautiful granddaughter, Alani Gotay who’s only 6 yrs old."
"We want to give, my late son, Jesus, the Memorial/Funeral he deserves, to honor his memory and say our last goodbyes," Alex Gotay said.
