The late George Elijah Jr. was from Auburn, Alabama. Tragically, he was shot and killed during a robbery at Tienda Los Hermons, along with the store owner Romero and Romero’s son. George was a beloved member of the community, known for his generosity and strong family bonds, especially with his child Holt.
Grayson Harris, a close associate, has organized a GoFundMe campaign to cover George’s funeral expenses. The fundraiser, created on June 6, 2024, has already surpassed its goal, raising $10,618 from 131 donations. This support reflects the deep impact George had on those around him.
Stacey L Bethea shared heartfelt memories of George, highlighting his kindness and the memorable times they spent together. "George Elijah Jr was such a great guy!!!! Spent many nights out with him in those Rock Bottom Days. He would give the shirt off his back," Stacey reminisced. George’s love for his family, particularly Holt, was evident in his frequent mentions of their adventures together.
Grayson Harris also expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support, noting, "So many of you have asked where you can donate, we have set up a GoFundMe. Thank you everyone for all of the support we truly appreciate it."
This fundraiser not only seeks to cover the funeral expenses but also serves as a testament to the community’s collective grief and support for George’s family during this difficult time.
