SPRAY — Community members are rallying around the family of Wheeler County Sheriff Jeremiah Holmes, whose 28-year-old son, Tate, was killed in a ranch accident on Jan. 28.

A GoFundMe account has been set up to help Tate’s widow, Dakota, and the couple’s two young children at tinyurl.com/n5pc76xk.

As of Sunday, Feb. 2, more than 150 donors had contributed nearly $50,000 toward the fund’s $65,000 goal.

Gate receipts from the Wheeler County Rattlers’ basketball games against Adrian High School on Friday, Feb. 7, will go to help the cause. The games will be held at Spray High School, beginning with the junior varsity girls’ matchup at noon and concluding with the varsity boys contest at 4:30 p.m.

The school is at 303 Park Ave. in Spray.

Admission is $5 for adults, $1 for students and seniors, and free for children under 12.
