QUINCY, MASS. (WHDH) - A devastated family is looking for answers after a beloved father of three died following a large fight outside an American Legion in Quincy over the weekend.
Bill Doyle, who struggled to speak on behalf of the grief-stricken family of 44-year-old Chris McCallum, of Bridgewater, recalled the married father of three boys as “a giving person” who “didn’t deserve this.”
McCallum died Monday from severe head injuries following an incident Sunday night outside the Nickerson American Legion Post.
Doyle says McCallum, his brother-in-law, was an engineer at a consulting firm in Canton, coached youth football, and built a skating rink for the kids in his neighborhood.
“He’s just the nicest most giving person, and he’s a family man,” Doyle said.
Doyle says after visiting his elderly parents in Quincy, McCallum met his twin brother at the nearby American Legion Post Saturday night.
Police say when they responded to a report of a large fight at the Post, they found McCallum unconscious and bleeding.
Doyle says the family is angry and looking for justice.
“We want someone to be accountable,” he said. “He’s too nice a guy. It’s not just an accident. He was trying to help the individuals.”
A GoFundMe account has been set up to help the family. Those looking to support the family can do so here.
