Yesterday we reported that artist Taran Kootenhayoo passed away on December 31, 2020.

The 'Star to Watch' at the 2018 Whistler Film Festival was known for his theatre work, as well as his role playing Niki in the film Bella Ciao! alongside Carmen Aguirre.

Friends of the late actor have set up a GoFundMe campaign, In Memory of Taran Kootenhayoo.

As of the time of this writing they've raised more than $47,000.

The money raised will go toward getting his remains back from Vancouver to Alberta, making final arrangements, as well as helping pay "expenses that may help family members that need to travel, accommodation, and the cost of living as they grieve."
