A GoFundMe has been set up to help the growing family of a Galloway Township man who died in a crash this weekend.
Max Fineran died in the crash on Somers Point-Mays Landing Road in Hamilton Township.
The preliminary investigation revealed a 2024 Tesla SUV Model Y left the roadway, collided with multiples trees, and caught fire, according to Hamilton Township police. They have not named Fineran.
Laureldale Fire Volunteer Fire and Rescue Co. posted about its response to the scene, but did not mention the fatality.
Fineran was a beloved member of the community, according to the GoFundMe and numerous Facebook posts mourning him.
Described as "the love of his life," Sutton Fineran is expecting the couple's first child in December.
The GoFundMe is set up to help the family he left behind, including Piper, the puppy the couple adopted in December.
"If you were fortunate enough to know Max, you were fortunate enough to feel his overwhelming love," Guy Zompa wrote on the fundraiser . "He had an unforgettable smile and infectious laugh that made him friends wherever he went."
Fineran also worked at Atlantic Cape Community College, where he was remembered fondly.
"Max Fineran was not just a Media Studies teaching assistant at Atlantic Cape, he was a mentor and a friend to all who crossed his path," said Professor Dr. Bojan Zilovic. "He believed in his students when they struggled to believe in themselves, offering encouragement far beyond the classroom. Max's legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched, reminding us of the power of education and the lasting impact one person can have in nurturing future generations. Max always said reassuringly, 'Don't worry, we'll fix it in post.' Rest in peace, our friend. We'll fix it in post."

Mays Landing and Laureldale firefighters were dispatched to the area of Ocean Heights and Somers Point-Mays Landing Road for an electric vehicle fire at about 1:38 Sunday morning, the Facebook post reads.
Mays Landing Tanker 19 arrived and began to extinguish the fire, with Engine 33 arriving to assist.
Due to this area being limited with fire hydrants
Tanker 39 also responded because of the limited availability of hydrants there.
The fire was quickly extinguished, but the vehicle had to be cooled off due to the batteries.
Tanker 39 left the scene to fill up at a hydrant and re-fill Tanker 19 until just before 6 am, when the vehicle was able to be safely relocated to an area with hydrants, the post reads.
Police are not releasing any more information pending further investigation.
