The Niceville community mourned the loss of local food truck owner Mike Ledford this weekend.
Ledford and his family own the popular My Ohana Food Truck and are preparing to open a restaurant.
He died Friday evening. Niceville police have not said whether or not they are investigating his death as a homicide.
The Niceville community has rallied around the Ledford family – starting a GoFundMe that has already raised $50,000 of their $100,000 goal – in less than 48 hours. If you want to help the Ledford family, head to their GoFundMe page and donate below.
Social media has been awash in thoughts and prayers for the Ledford family and memories of Mike from friends near and far.
A post by 3rd Planet Brewing has some of the best posts about Mike. People are encouraged to post their memories there. Click below for that post.
We want this page to be a resource for anyone who wants to help the Ledfords.
