"Dan was really a cornerstone of MSU hockey and of East Lansing itself," said David McCormick, bar manager at One North East Lansing.
McCormick said the decision to support the Sturges family was natural given the restaurant's relationship with the university and athletics program.
"MSU pours their love into us, so we want to do anything we can to show that we care about them," McCormick said. "Especially when it's people in their community, we want to do everything that we can to support them. Especially during this time."
The fundraising effort resonated with hockey fans like Gail Fisher, who was in attendance at the Adam Nightingale Show at One North East Lansing on Thursday.
"I'm so happy that people are doing things to support the family," Fisher said. "Because they've lost their major source of income, they've lost their dad. And no preparation. So I'm glad that One North is supporting us in that way. Supporting them."
A GoFundMe has also been set up for the Sturges family, and anyone looking to donate can do so here.
