Heather Glyer spoke to WTTG, telling the station DonorSee was her husband’s “heart and his vision.”
The platform he created isnow being used to raise moneyfor Glyer’s wife and two children, who were home at the time of the fatal incident.
“Gret lived his life in the pursuit of helping others,” reads a statement from DonorSee. “He has left a legacy that will live on through DonorSee, of changing the world for the better and helping those who need it most. He is a shining light that inspired those he met, and many more he did not meet.”
The statement continues: “He was a courageous and kind leader, who treated everyone like family, and he always had a positive attitude that encouraged you to push a little harder, do a little more, and smile a little bigger. The loss of Gret only pushes us to honor his dream in ending global poverty even more, and do as he did — leave the world a better place than how we found it. We are creating this project today to raise funds to support Gret’s family: his wife and young children following their tragic loss. All of the funds from this project will go to his family.”
Anyone with any information about the killing is urged to contact the Fairfax Police at 703-385-7924.
