http://sansoxygen.com/ is the way to donate to support Vernon's family now (the youcaring.com link seems to be dead).
Peeps, if you have children, get some damn life insurance! Not doing so can turn out to be the single worst parenting decision of your life.
And most importantly take care of yourself and tell your children you love them every day. Rest in peace, Vernon.
Without an Trust, your estate will go through probate. I believe the county charges 1 percent, and it can take up to a year.
(A living Revocable Trust is not that difficult. Get it notarized. What I found confusing is funding the Trust. I need to do more research, but their is a form that needs to be filled out so your property taxes don't skyrocket. In CA it's the will doesn't need a notary's signature.)
Edit: TBH I'm a bit mad at google and all the rest of internet behemoths for this. The magnitude and breadth of his contribution should have drawn their focus and support to his family long ago. It is unacceptable that they (the family) should rely on the kindness of random strangers to make ends meet.
EDIT: I see the link is http://sansoxygen.com/
