Shayne William's Memorial Fund

Donation protected
Shayne is a young man who has ambitions, going to college to become a mechanic (at UTI in Orlando, specifcally) and getting married to his girlfriend Krista were two of his main goals as of late. Unfortunately my bright, fun, lively brother had those ambitions taken away this morning at 4 AM when he was hurt in a car accident caused by a semi truck that lost it's load of sod near off of Verna Bethany and State Road 70. According to the Florida Highway Patrol officers that spoke to our family, another semi truck was a few minutes behind him on the road and after Shayne hit the sod from the load that the first semi truck lost, the driver of the second semi truck couldn't see his vehicle and crashed into his car, driving him off of the road. Shayne had severe injuries and was taken to the hospital, but was pronounced dead at around 6 AM after the accident. If you were ever close to Shayne, you know that money has always been hard to come by with our family, especially in the case of an emergency. The goal of this GoFundMe account is to cover the costs of a memorial , and if enough is raised to fly some close family to Florida to attend the funeral. We are unaware of the overall cost of the memorial yet, I will keep that updated but if there is any extra money after the fundraiser it will most likely be given to our mother, Sharla Williams, for her medical bills since she has always had a hard time paying for things ever since she was diagnosed with her Multiple Myeloma cancer a few years ago. It's the most tragic loss we have ever had in our family, and I still remember him telling me how glad he was that I was alright after I rolled my car and totaled it in an accident only 3 months ago. We love you Shayne and we are happy you are in a better place, although Mom, Josh, Lacce, myself, and even Dad miss you very much. Rest in piece big brother, I love you and you will never be forgotten I promise to drink some Jack for you every anniversary of your passing away. Thank you in advance for donating, the family appreciates it very much and we will keep everyone posted on the memorial arrangements.
