What you can do:
It’s happening on Saturday, June 13, at Mulligan’s on 8 Mile in Farmington Hills. There will be a $20 donation at the door, along with basket raffles and plenty of food. The money raised will go toward funeral and memorial expenses for a family that meant a lot to this community.
"When he was behaving, he would be here all the time. We went many places together. Like I said, he was well-known, with a boisterous, hearty laugh. The laugh would vibrate your chest. When you got him laughing, he wouldn’t stop, and the whole room would shake. He always called me his brother. Every time we parted ways, it was, ‘I love you, brother.’ I loved him like a brother," said Robert McKiddie. "The community is hurting over this. All the money will not make a difference to anybody, but it might help them get through what they have to get through."
