Brandon Lee Draycott, a 27-year-old man from Shrewsbury, tragically passed away following a medical incident at the JD Gym on Arlington Way. The incident occurred on November 5, during what was meant to be a regular workout for him.
Community Comes Together for Fundraiser
In the wake of Brandon’s death, his aunt Clare Gannon has initiated a fundraiser to assist his family with funeral expenses. She described Brandon as a kind and humorous individual who dedicated much of his time as a full-time carer for his grandmother, who suffers from dementia.
Fundraising Goals and Progress
The fundraiser aims to raise £2,400 and has already garnered substantial support, with donations exceeding £1,750. Clare expressed gratitude for the community’s generosity in her fundraising message:
- Brandon was cherished by his family and friends.
- He enjoyed daily visits to the gym.
- The loss has left his family in shock.
- Clare is committed to helping cover funeral costs.
Brandon’s unexpected passing has deeply affected his family, especially his grandmother, who is now without the support he provided. Clare emphasized the urgency of their situation, noting that funeral arrangements require a deposit that the family currently struggles to pay.
For those who wish to contribute to the fundraiser, donations can be made to the GoFundMe page dedicated to Brandon Lee Draycott. Clare thanked everyone who has already supported the initiative, highlighting the impact of their kindness during this difficult time.
