Schenectady, New York – Jason McGowty, a 39-year-old resident of Schenectady, tragically passed away unexpectedly on Monday, August 26, 2024. Jason’s sudden death has left his family and loved ones, including his partner, April, unprepared for the financial burdens that come with planning a funeral and other related expenses.
In response to this difficult time, friends of Jason McGowty have come together to support his family by organizing a GoFundMe campaign. The fundraiser, titled "Support Jason McGowty’s Memorial Fund," was created by Michele Scrom and aims to raise $10,000 to help cover the costs of Jason’s funeral services and other unforeseen expenses.
Jason, who recently took a bold step by leaving his corporate job to start his own business, was not in a position to save for such unexpected events. Despite his success in supporting himself, April, and their beloved dog, Koda, the financial strain of his sudden passing has been significant.
The GoFundMe campaign has already begun to receive support, with two donations totaling $70 made shortly after the fundraiser’s launch. Michele Cser Scrom contributed $50, and Carolyn McGuire donated $20.
The campaign organizers emphasize that any contribution, whether monetary or in the form of sharing memories of Jason, is deeply appreciated. They hope to give Jason the beautiful send-off he deserves, honoring the joy and smiles he brought to those who knew him.
Those wishing to support Jason McGowty’s memorial fund can donate through the GoFundMe page, with the assurance that their donations are protected by the GoFundMe Giving Guarantee. The fundraiser is a heartfelt effort by Jason’s friends and community to assist his family during this challenging time.
