Photo: The Rouse Family with Nikki (from Jenn Gelvin’s Facebook page) A GoFundMe has been set up to help the family out. Founders of The Fabulous Boogienauts, Keith Rouse passed from a heart attack a few weeks ago and his wife Jennifer Brooke Gelvin was murdered in a domestic violence incident at a friend’s house, leaving their children Jada and Jaz parentless. They were your fellow musicians. Dig deep. We know budgets are tight but can you imagine being in the children’s and their caretakers shoes? As usual, $10 helps a bit but 100 xs $more helps with the expenses associated with a death in the family – let alone to mention 2 in less than a month’s time.
