Tyler "Chops" Smith final expenses

Tyler "Chops" Smith passed away suddenly early Monday morning , May 30 after a swimming accident while on vacation in Florida. He was young and it was very unexpected. He did not have life insurance and funerals are pretty expensive. The money raised will be used to cover medical expenses and funeral expenses. Also, since he passed while in Florida, the family had to get him back to Knoxville which I'm sure wasn't cheap. I'm trying to make things as easy for the family as possible. Chops and I met when we were in 8th grade and were great friends from the day we met. We graduated from Karns High School together in 2009 and I'm pretty sure he made it a point to get to know everybody in our graduating class. Money raised will be transferred to a bank account that was opened by me but Tyler's father, Rick, is an authorized signer on the account so he will have complete access to the funds raised.
