As of Monday evening, more than $3,400 had been donated to a GoFundMe page set up for his funeral expenses.

He worked for Belle Cucina Market and Catering and planned to get his real estate license next year, according to the fundraiser.

"Eddie was a kind-hearted, soft-spoken, generous, easy-going, young man who would help anyone in need," organizer Scott Cannariato wrote.
