By the Way Fund Set Up For Slain Karaoke DJ's Funeral Expenses
Posted by Brantley Hargrove on Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 3:35 PM
Per her friend, Heather Truckey, Goeser had been laid off a month before and his life insurance went with the job. So, on top of mourning for her husband of roughly 17 months, Nicky has to figure out how to pay for his funeral.
A memorial fund for Goeser has been opened at SunTrust Bank and, if you want, you can make things a little easier on her by making a donation. Go to any SunTrust branch or mail a donation to the Benjamin S. Goeser Benefit Fund at SunTrust Bank.

I will definitely be sending my fellow handgun carry permit holder some money. Sad that The Scene made so many insulting comments about people like her in the lead up to her tragic death.
Perhaps you guys owe her an apology?

Classy, Kevin. For a moment we were afraid you wouldn't seize the opportunity of someone's loss to try to score some cheap polemical points. Ten bucks says you not only keep a receipt for the dough but try to take it off next year's taxes.
This is a horrible tragedy and my heart goes out to the widow. And I am NOT in the insurance business but be aware that you can get life insurance without a job, for very little. I would think 15 bucks a month would have provided his widow with $25,000 or so, more than enough for a funeral and to pay off some bills. I am not pointing fingers, just thinking that people might use this horrible situation to learn some beneficial things for themselves.
When people are laid of and are trying to make enough money to cover bills, their last concern is usually bot purchasing life insurance, as we never anticipate such a thing to occur. $15 may not seem like much to some, but everything adds up...
it is unfortunate, but it is a big part of real life, a lot of people don't carry insurances...because of the cost...
