The New York City-based influencer died unexpectedly on July 31, according to People Magazine.

His sister, Franki Ford, shared the news of his death in a heartbreaking tribute on Monday.

“My brother, Chase Filandro, was a shining light who had an incredible zest for life,” Ford wrote on Instagram.

“He was loved beyond words by so many and opened his heart to everyone he encountered.”

She recalled Filandro as an “avid traveler” who had a passion for National Parks and invited his fans to donate to a memorial in his honor at one of his cherished parks.

“Once finalized, we’ll share the details so you can visit and enjoy what Chase loved doing most, knowing he is right alongside you,” Ford wrote.

The GoFundMe has raised more than $24,000 in just two days.
