Fans can also donate to the family via a website Davis created.
"As a Chicago Bear I would like to support this family in any way I can by passing along an easy way to donate, whether it's $5, $10 or $100," Davis says on the website.
"Karen Pettry is a stay-at-home mom. Chris had his own business and provided for the family. Through a violent, senseless act, Chris can no longer provide for Karen and their three children."
As of Friday morning, 99 contributors had donated more than $3,900 toward the goal of $50,000.
"My thoughts and prayers go out to the Pettry family," wrote one contributor from Colorado. "I love all of the support from our big Chicago Bears family."
