KANSAS CITY – Friends and families from across the country have raised over $30,000 to help the family of 10-year-old Caleb Schwab, who died on Sunday while riding the world’s tallest water slide in Kansas City.

See Caleb’s GoFundMe page here.

A family spokesman, the Rev. Clint Sprague, says visitation will be held Thursday evening at Life Mission Church in Olathe. A memorial service is scheduled for Friday afternoon. See more details here.

Neither investigators nor park officials have released specifics about how the boy sustained his fatal injuries. Caleb was the son of Republican state Rep. Scott Schwab.

The park reopened on Wednesday, though the waterslide remains closed.
