Friends of an East Cobb man killed in a car crash on Shallowford Road on Wednesday have started a GoFundMe online fundraiser for his family.
The Andy Halloran Memorial Fund has already raised more than $13,000 of a designated $15,000 on behalf of his family.
Jen Halloran, the victim’s wife, said the following on the fundraising message:
“Andy was literally the very best person I’ve ever known, and he made me a better person each day. He was hard-working, kind, generous, loyal, faith-filled, and funny. Andy was also the most amazing dad. Our kids were so lucky to have had him as a faith leader, tennis partner, math tutor, band dad, driving instructor, and friend.”
The Lassiter Bands posted a message Friday saying Halloran was a volunteer in their organization and whose son Will played in the band and is a student at UGA. Daughter Claire was the band drum major last year and is Lassiter’s STAR student.
A three-car crash occurred Wednesday shortly before noon at the intersection of Shallowford Road and Lassiter Road. Eastbound lanes of Shallowford were closed at the intersection for several hours as police and emergency crews worked the scene.
One individual was transported from the scene by ambulance and occupants of another car were able to walk away without injuries.
Cobb Police have not released any information about the crash or the victim; when contacted by East Cobb News on Friday, department spokeswoman Officer Shenise McDonald said a release would be sent to the media “once we return back to the office.”
She didn’t indicate when that would be.
Jen Halloran said in her message she was unsure of funeral arrangements due to COVID-19, but asked for prayers for her family “as we take our next steps on very shaky legs.”
