Shore husband and wife die same day in two different accidents

TUCKERTON, NJ – A husband and wife from Tuckerton died in two separate accidents and now friends are trying to help their two children cope with the horrific tragedy. On Monday, Stacy Kaznowski passed away in a freak accident while at the beach. Later in the day, her husband died at their home in a different accident. Now, a family friend has set up a GoFundMe campaign to help their two children.

“Stacy & Keith Kaznowski were two of the most loving & genuine people I’ve ever met. Always a glimmer of light in such a dark world. They were the neighborhood parents of Tuckerton, everyone and anyone knew them as mom and dad as they made their home a safe and loving place to all. As tragedy has hit I’d like to ask everyone to help my friends (their kids) Logan & Kylie with funeral expenses as this was so unexpected they hadn’t had time to plan or make arrangements should anything like this happen,” said Haley Giacobbe. “Logan’s taken on such a big role in only a matter of hours and I for one out of many people who grew up with Logan and Kylie think we owe it to Stacy and Keith to help their children through such heartache as they’ve done for us thousands of times As Stacy would say “she loves us all infinity xoxo” now it’s time to show her kids how much we all love and cherish them too.”

Members of the community say the Kaznowski family was always there to help others. So far, just over $5,000 has been raised for the children.
