"Bryan, is recovering physically, but sadly Trevor has gained his wings and is singing and playing some crazy football in heaven," the page -- which was set up by Trevor's mum Becky and his sisters, Tessa and Zoe -- said.

The fundraising page is for funeral costs and medical expenses, and has already met its target goal of US$25k (approx $34k).
