"Chris was a veteran who served multiple tours overseas with the US Army," according to the GoFundMe campaign. "If you knew Chris you were lucky, because you knew that you had a good friend! You would also know how much he loved his kids."

McGarvey, a Philadelphia resident, was struck by a transit bus at Bartram Avenue and North Governor Printz Boulevard in Tinicum, according to the DelCo Times. He died at 11:37 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 28 in Crozer-Chester Medical Center.
