Jagger’s parents Damon, 31, and Alexandria Wing, 29, spoke to News 14 about the loss of their son and how they are searching for answers. Alexandria said: “We do have a family history of cardiac issues, and this is where I want to just express knowing family histories and genetic testing and how important that can be to prevent anything.
“We were told that there’s nothing that could have prevented this, but we also don’t even know what happened.”
The parents told the outlet that they have since had their daughters checked for any heart conditions and have not found any abnormalities.
A GoFundMe has been set up to help pay the medical bills, funeral costs, and everyday expenses in support of the Wing family. A message on the page reads: “Jagger was a beautiful, energetic, loving, caring, and pure soul that was taken too soon. He was an amazing brother to an older sister and a younger sister. His presence brought joy and light to everyone around him, and his memory will forever be cherished by his parents, siblings, family, and friends. The sudden loss has left Alex and Damon not only emotionally devastated but also in need of support to help them through the practical realities of this tragedy.”
The GoFundMe has raised more than $22,000 so far.
