Family members identified the teen as Connor Leonard.
"He was the oldest in his family, a loving big brother, and such a sweet son and friend," according to a GoFundMe* campaign set up to help with funeral costs.
"If you knew Connor, you know how fun and adventurous he was. He had the best smile, a kind heart, and was always trying to make his friends laugh. His family is one of the most loved in our neighborhood, and it's hard to even put into words how much they mean to all of us," the site says.
