Elliott, 63, often called "Kenny," died following the recent London tornado, according to a GoFundMe. His niece, Rachel Harris, started the campaign to pay for his funeral expenses, with funds going to her father and Elliott's brother, Darrell Elliott.

Because of the dark, stormy conditions, Laurel County Fire Department officials are unsure if he knew who he was saving.

Major Leslie Leatherman, a 39-year veteran of the Laurel County Fire Department, was tragically killed while responding to a fire alarm when the tornado touched down.
