JEFFERSON COUNTY, Texas — The family of a man found dead earilier this week at McFaddin Beach has launched a GoFundMe to help cover his funeral expenses.

Edward Gack said he created the fundraiser after learning insurance would only provide a limited payout following the death of his brother, Martin Gack , 45. Martin was found Aug. 25 in the sand dunes near where he went missing five days earlier, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

Edward wrote on the GoFundMe page that the insurance company cited Martin’s medical history and policy deadlines as reasons his mother will only receive a portion of the expected coverage. “It will not put a dent in bringing down the cost,” he said.

Over $3,000 of their $7,500 total has been raised at the time of writing.
