Fundraiser Underway For Redondo Teen Killed In Boating Accident

REDONDO BEACH, CA — A fundraiser is underway for a Redondo Beach teen killed in a boating accident on Lake Havasu in Arizona.

At approximately 6:15 p.m. Friday, the body of Adam Gomez, 17, was found by divers just south of Thompson Bay in approximately 23 feet of water, Mohave County Sheriff's Office officials said.

"What has happened is beyond comprehension, and we are all still in shock," Adam's aunt Anneke Blair, who is organizing the GoFundMe campaign, said.

Funeral plans are being arranged, and the money raised will be used to help offset the costs for his services, the GoFundMe said. He needs to be brought home from Arizona, so his family and friends can celebrate his life, Blair wrote.

The fundraising campaign was created to keep everyone up-to-date with plans, as well as offer a place for messages and donations, she said.

"Adam was always a ball of fire. If he wasn't on the soccer field looking to put the ball into the back of the net, he was on his skateboard, cracking a joke or doing 'hardcore parkour,'" Blair wrote. "Adam always had a smile for anyone he met."
