Last week, a fan, who has been since identified as Jeffrey Allan Fortune, died unexpectedly after collapsing at a Ghost concert in Milwaukee, and fans are now proving just how supportive the metal community is when those are in need.

A GoFundMe page was created to help support Fortune’s family in their time of need.  A goal of $1,000 was established, and thanks to fans, that goal has been shattered and is currently at $7,035 as of publishing.

Sometimes, it’s nice to be reminded of the good in the world and just how awesome and supportive the metal community is.
