KNOXVILLE, Tenn — Family, friends and the community came together in support of a Gatlinburg police officer who lost his daughter and father-in-law after a deadly house fire in May.
A benefit concert took place Saturday night with all proceeds going to the officer's family.
"We are really just trying to help them get back on their feet," Christina Ferell, a family friend, said.
The community is playing its part in helping a neighbor pick up the pieces of their lives.
"We are here to raise money for the Frederick family of Gatlinburg after they had a house fire in May," Ferrell said.
Gatlinburg Police Officer Robert Frederick lost his daughter and father-in-law.
"It's very raw for them still, you know they're having a hard time moving forward the most unimaginable lost you can even think about," Ferrell said. "It just takes a little bit of effort..to come together and just lean on each other and help people it just takes opening your heart listening and helping."
Rain or shine, they didn't let anything stop them from doing what they could, all for the people in their community.
"Even when you don't know somebody you can step up and help them," Ferrell said.
As the Frederick family tries it's best to move forward with a void seemingly too big to fill, the people around them want to make sure they have the support and love they need.
"[It's important to] bring people together in the community and just try to get them to help out another member of the community," said Ferrell.
