Dutchess County resident Fabian Tirado, of Wappingers Falls, was one of the two men who were fatally struck by a vehicle on I-84 in the Putnam County town of Kent on Saturday, July 2, police reported.
Police said 38-year-old Mark Hall, of Holmes, and Tirando stopped in the right lane of travel and exited their vehicles due to a road rage altercation, and they were both struck and killed by a third vehicle at about 1:30 a.m.
Following his death, Tirado's brother Jashua Tirado set up the GoFundMe in an effort to help his parents pay for Tirado's funeral which is set to take place on Friday, July 8, at St. Mary, Mother of the Church in Fishkill.
To date, more than $8,400 of a $15,000 goal has been raised.
