To help Malone’s family

A GoFundMe campaign was started by Mississippi Department of Safety Commissioner Sean Tindell to help pay for funeral expenses, Tindall wrote:

“Jeremy was the loving husband of 13 years to his wife, Hilary, and caring father to three daughters, Abbie (18), Alivia (11), and Brooklyn (8). He will be sorely missed by all of his family, friends, and entire community. The Department of Public Safety asks for prayers for all who knew and loved Jeremy.”

Additionally, The Southern Mississippi Planning and Development District (SMPDD) is accepting donations for Malone’s family.
