Remember a few weeks ago when Violent J put up a message about a ninja named Tom whose dying wish was to not leave his family in crippling debt due to funeral/burial costs?  Violent J posted a link to his GoFundMe campaign, and Juggalos came through with a vengeance, nearly reaching their $10,000 goal in a matter of days! A few weeks have passed, and unfortunately, Tom has passed away.  We offer our condolences to Tom's family and friends on behalf of all Juggalos and Juggalettes.  This was the latest message posted to the GoFundMe campaign:
Dearest Family, it is with great regret and sorrow to tell you my Brother Tom passed away this morning around 930 am. He left without pain and in the comfort and care of Karen his wife. He remained at peace with himself and the rest of us. Stoic unto the end never complaining or feeling sorry for himself. A truly remarkable and humble man. A ninja of the spirit through and through. This has been a tough journey, but we shouldn't feel sorry for ourselves at the loss. We need to remember how strong he stayed for himself and us. Honor him with joy and smiles, it's what he would want. Thank you ALL for being our family, you've made this journey lighter for Tom and Karen. Blessings and Love to you All! Sincerely and humbly yours, Michael
In response to that, InsaneClownPosse.com posted a final request to get the remaining $1,000+ funded for Tom's family.  Check that out below. From InsaneClownPosse.com:

RIP, Tom! Let's finish helping his family!

Hey, Juggalos, it's J-Webb. A few weeks ago Violent J wrote about a fundraising jar that was at the Rams Horn where he and his family were eating. It was to raise funds for this fresh ninja named Tom, who didn't have long to live but didn't want to leave his family with the financial burden of having to pay for his funeral (which always cost several thousand dollars). The Juggalo family fucking DOMINATED, joined together and by simply donating $5 here and there, we raised almost $8,0000 of the $10K goal. Toms family was blown away by the generosity of the Juggalos but as we all know, that's just how we roll. When Violent J and his family ignited this fire of goodwill and generosity by first putting cash into that milk jug at Rams Horn, they proved that the Juggalo family is unquestionably at the strongest level it's ever been. The poseurs, the bandwagoners, and the wannabes all dropped off a long time ago. What we now have is a solid as a rock family that takes care of one another and other people...even if they don't know the person in need. It's pretty fucking devastating and I for one am PROUD AS FUCK to be a Juggalo. Sadly, Tom passed into Shangri-La this morning. Thank you to all Juggalos who donated to his campaign. As the family plans funeral arrangements, there's only about $1500 more to raise to achieve the final goal of $10K. So if you have $5 or $10, please consider donating it to Toms amazing family so they don't have to worry about any funeral costs and they can just focus on honoring Tom's life and his ascension into Shangri-La. Thank you, Juggalos, and MCL to all of you and to Toms family! https://www.gofundme.com/5arrjzh8
There's not much left to go, so let's help send him off the way that he deserves.  Much love y'all!
