Craig Moore, son

A fund-raiser is slated for Thursday to aid the family of a 3-year-old son of hip hop radio personality Craig "CJ" Moore, who choked to death on Sunday during a family vacation in Florida, according to mlive.com.

Moore, who works for CBS Radio's WZMX 93.7 FM, Hot 93.7 in Hartfod,  was heading down to Florida to join his family when he received news of the death of his son.

Friends and relatives set up an online gofundme.com campaign to raise $20,000 to cover medical, transportation and funeral costs. More than $31,000 has already been raised and the surplus will go to a scholarship fund in CJ's memory.

“The outpouring of love and support we have received from so many people has been unbelievable and incredibly comforting. We can’t thank everyone enough for immediately rallying and helping out in a time of unimaginable shock, loss and pain for me and my family,” Moore said. “I don’t know how we pick up the pieces from here, but having the financial means to be able to bring our whole family home together and plan a memorial and funeral for my lil' man thanks to everyone’s donations has meant the world to me and my wife, Josie.”

DJ Craig G has been a part of the CBS family at Hot 93.7FM for the past 13 years. Hehas been ranked the No. 1 DJ in Connecticut by readers of the Hartford Advocate for the past 12 years in a row.
