Ira Henderson, Durham, NC—The community of Durham is grieving the sudden loss of Ira Henderson, whose body was recently discovered in Durham, NC, after a week-long search. Ira, known for his vibrant personality and deep connections within the "Bull City," was a cherished friend, brother, and member of the Nu Era Bike Club.
Ira’s sister, Chrissy Farmer, has given her blessing for a GoFundMe campaign started by Kimberly Johnson to support the family during this difficult time. The campaign aims to raise $5,000 to help cover funeral expenses and other needs. As of today, the fundraiser has garnered $310 from eight generous donations.
