On the GoFundMe page that was set up following Canaday’s death, it reads: “Trevor and his dad were driving to a show choir event and were involved in a serious car accident due to a drunk driver.” “His dad, Bryan, is recovering physically, but sadly Trevor has gained his wings and is singing and playing some crazy football in heaven.”

“Trevor was a funny, smart, innovative, athletic, goofy kid and he was so loved. His memory will live on in many ways. Please help us do this for the family now to help ease their suffering away from money to focus on healing emotionally. Thank you,” it continued.
