An Anoka family needs support for a husband and father who died while on vacation in another country.
According to a GoFundMe, Miles Hendrickson became ill and ultimately died at a hospital on Saturday, March 15. He leaves behind his two children and wife, Melissa.
The Hendrickson family has been a part of the Anoka-Ramsey Athletic Association for many years, "through coaching, board, membership and as athletes," according to a Facebook post by the organization.
"As an Anoka Football Family we are unbelievably saddened by the loss of one of our family members. Miles Hendrickson has been a huge part of our Touchdown Club, A Crew, youth football coach, and just overall great supporter of Anoka Football," the organization said.
"Most of all Miles was an awesome dad. He had a huge impact on so many and will be dearly missed. Please help the family in any way if you can."
A family friend has launched a fundraiser to help with costs in getting Hendrickson home, along with helping with hospital bills and funeral expenses.
"Melissa will need to navigate unbearable logistics and financial burdens to get Miles home to Minnesota," the fundraiser post reads.
As of Thursday morning, the GoFundMe has raised over $89,600 of its $95,000 goal.
The GoFundMe does not disclose which country Hendrickson was vacationing in at the time of his death.
