GoFundMe set up to raise money for mountain biker who died in Fort Worth accident
A GoFundMe for a bicyclist who died after an accident Sunday at Gateway Park in Fort Worth raised more than $3,500 in just over three hours Tuesday evening, and had raised more than $7,000 as of Wednesday.
Ray Reza, 41, died in the intensive care unit at JPS Hospital in Fort Worth, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office website, which listed his cause of death as blunt force injuries from a bicycle accident.
Police said the accident involved a bike and a wooden bridge, but did not release any further details as to what happened.
A spokesman from MedStar said Reza was in critical condition when paramedics arrived and was taken to an area hospital.
Adrian Cordova, who created the GoFundMe for Reza’s family, said in the fundraiser’s description he was friends with him. Cordova described Reza as an avid mountain biker who enjoyed other outdoor activities like kayaking, camping and boating.
“He was a hard-working person who cared deeply for his family, friends and colleagues,” Cordova said.
Cordova said Reza is survived by his wife, three daughters and son. Anybody interested in donating to assist the family with funeral can go to www.gofundme.com/f/help-the-reza-family-with-funeral-expenses.
