Adam said that Christina was a huge loss in the industry and that he and his wife are deeply saddened by the news.
Grimmie’s manager Brian Teefey, on the other hand, initially created a GoFundMe page to help her family move out of their current house and shoulder the expenses of her funeral.
Their initial goal was $4,000, but donations from kind-hearted individuals have poured in continuously and they have amassed $160,000 worth of donations.
A change.org petition has also been made urging Nintendo to memorialize Grimmie in the next “The Legend of Zelda” game, which is a long-time favorite video game of the singer. The petition has received more than 30,000 signatures already.
According to People, Grimmie will be laid to rest later this week in a private funeral attended by her loved ones in her home state of New Jersey.
Earlier this week, hundred of mourners gathered for a candlelight vigil in the late singer’s New Jersey hometown of Evesham Township
The Plaza in Orlando was also filled with mourners and fans lighting candles and holding vigils for the murdered singer.
Christina’s brother says that Selena Gomez will be singing a song during her sister’s funeral. Marcus also thanked all Grimmie’s fans for the outpouring of love and support for her sister.
