Following the tragic deaths of Jessi Pierce and her three children in a Minnesota house fire, a GoFundMe campaign has been set up to support her husband, Mike Hinrichs.
The family, including their dog, lost their lives in the fire at their home in White Bear Lake, with Mike Hinrichs away on a work trip at the time.
In a heartfelt tribute, Mike Hinrichs described his wife as 'beautiful, vibrant, full of life' and a devoted mother to their children, Hudson, Cayden, and Avery.
'She lit up every room she walked into and made everyone feel welcome,' he said.
'While Jess was lucky to land her dream job writing about hockey, podcasting, and more, she spent every second beyond that creating adventures with her family.'
The Minnesota Wild, where Jessi Pierce covered the team, described her passing as 'tragic' and extended their sympathies to her family and friends.
