Bryan Tumolo, of Mahopac, was killed in Putnam Valley around 8:55 a.m., Tuesday, Sept. 27 on Wood St., according to the Putnam County Sheriff's Office.
Tumolo leaves behind his fiance McKayla Gordineer and a young daughter.
Since his death, friends, and even strangers, have donated to a GoFundMe in an effort to help the family in the time of need, said fund organizer Brittany Pirro.
"Bryan was one of the most generous, funny, and kind-hearted souls I ever met," said Pirro. "I'll never forget him or the joy he brought to everyone. His hilarious sense of humor, generosity, and always positive attitude was a blessing to us all."
Pirro went on to say that with Tumolo gone, McKayla really needs all the support she can get.
"Bryan left McKayla alone to deal with a whole host of emotions, including loss, fear, and loneliness. And the struggle of raising a beautiful baby girl Kaylee by herself. Bryan was the financial support in their family," she added.
To date, $1,695 of a $100,000 goal has been raised.
