ELK GROVE, CA (MPG) – A GoFundMe page has been launched to support the four children of Skip Van, 54, and Tiffany Chu, 47, following the couple's deaths in a collision that occurred early June 1 on Elk Grove Florin Road.
According to the fundraiser page, the crash occurred when two juveniles, who authorities said were traveling at a high rate of speed, ran a red light and collided with the couple’s vehicle, “taking both of their lives instantly.”
Organized by the Van family, the fundraiser describes Van and Chu as devoted parents who were deeply committed to their family and community.

“Skip and Tiffany were devoted, hardworking parents who dedicated their lives to their family and community. Skip spent more than 30 years working at his family’s business, Gold Star Supermarket, where he served as a respected manager and built lasting relationships with customers and community members alike. Tiffany devoted more than 20 years of her career to caring for others as a medical assistant with Sutter Health. She was known for her warmth, vibrant spirit, and ability to brighten any room she entered. Together, Skip and Tiffany created a loving home built on kindness, generosity, and unwavering support for their children.”
Organizers said funds raised are intended to provide both immediate and long-term support for the couple’s four children.
Donations will help cover funeral and memorial expenses, daily living and household costs, childcare and family support needs, educational expenses and future schooling, and unforeseen costs as the family navigates the transition following the loss of their parents.
