An online fundraiser has been launched to support his family.
Mourners will gather Sunday in memory of a 25-year-old Phillipsburg man who died Tuesday in a motorcycle crash in Pennsylvania.
Jesse Graner was riding south 7 p.m. on Route 611 -- south of Howell Road, in the area of Riverside Barr and Grill in Lower Mount Bethel Township -- when he went off the road and hit a ditch, according to Pennsylvania State Police. He was wearing a helmet at the time, but died of his injuries at Easton Hospital.
Graner, of the 1000 block of South Main Street, died of blunt force trauma, according to Northampton County Coroner Zachary Lysek. His death was ruled accidental.
