“We all know that Robbie was a wonderful husband, father, son, brother, leader, mentor, and co-worker. He touched so many lives and it’s heartwarming to hear all the stories and memories he left for us to cherish. This is surreal and has brought so much heartache to all that knew him,” Riner wrote in the description of the fundraiser.
The LineLife Foundation is also accepting donations for the Key family and says those that would like to donate are asked to please visit www.linelifefoundation.com, hit the donate button, and put Keys in the Notes section. All donations will be sent to Keys’ wife.
