Now, a GoFundMe page has been launched, described as an “official fundraiser created by members of the Basmajian family.”
As of early Wednesday, it has gathered more than $170,000 in donations. The fundraiser states that every “donation, prayer, and share is deeply appreciated.”
“Our family is devastated by the tragic loss of Khajag Basmajian (31), his wife Marine (29), their son Alec (2), and their newborn daughter Ella just 6 days old. In a single moment, we lost an entire young family who were deeply loved by everyone who knew them,” the GoFundMe read.
Described as a “caring mother”
“Khajag was a devoted husband, loving father, cherished son, brother, and friend. To know him is to love him. With a beaming smile on his face and a positive outlook on life, he was truly a friend you could count on.”
“Marine was a caring mother and wife who found comfort in organization and enjoyed gatherings among her loved ones. Alec brought joy and laughter wherever he went. With his bright smile and cheerful eyes taking after his father, he loved his toy vehicles and getting a taste for life one bite at a time (ice cream was his favorite). Alec couldn’t wait to meet his baby sister Ella who only lived to see the world Earth side for 6 days.”
The GoFundMe concluded, “As we face the unimaginable task of honoring and laying four beloved family members to rest, we are asking for support to help cover funeral and memorial and other unexpected expenses during this difficult time.”
Rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Basmajian family.
