ROXANA - Jennifer Jenkins has organized a GoFundMe fundraiser for Alex Maguire, 22, who was in a car accident and died late Tuesday night, Dec. 6, 2022.

Alex MaguireJenkins had this to say about Alex: "If you were lucky enough to have known Alex, you knew his big heart, big dreams, and an even bigger smile. He loved fishing, time with friends, and most of all, his wrestling and sports.

"He leaves behind his father (Adam), mother (Alison), and brother (Jacob). Funeral arrangements are pending, and more information will be posted soon. Alex had no insurance, so any donations will be used for the family for funeral and medical expenses."
