(Ripley, Co.) - A GoFundMe has been launched to help the family of a Ripley County man who died following a house explosion.
Anthony Wayne Walker, 67, was killed on November 10 when his home in Shelby Township exploded and caught fire. A possible gas leak is under investigation as the cause of the explosion.
According to the GoFundMe, Walker's family is facing unexpected funeral, cleanup, and legal expenses. Walker did not have life insurance or a will, leaving the family to navigate additional financial challenges while dealing with his sudden loss.
The fundraiser aims to help cover those expenses within the next 90 days. The family says any donation, regardless of amount, would be appreciated. Those unable to contribute financially are also encouraged to share the fundraiser to help spread the word.
