Sonny Riley Memorial

Donation protected

Sonny passed unexpectedly from this world on April 19th.  As everyone who had the fortune to meet him knows, this is a tragic loss.  So many lives have been touched by him. Charismatic is an understatement... Sonny literally made friends everywhere he went. He had an infectious laugh, a great sense of humor, and gave the greatest hugs in the world. He knew how to make people feel at ease and was a great listener.  Over the last few years he had developed a deep love of animals, adopting as many as would fit in the house. More recently he had also started gardening, both vegetables (Sonny was an exquisite cook) as well as ornamentals. Sonny and his household had plans to start a homestead and "live off the land". He was excited about having goats, chickens, and growing most of his own food. 

We are all devastated, his absence leaves a gaping hole in our hearts and lives. 

Due to the circumstances of his passing (it was during a vacation/land scouting trip in a foreign country) the expenses have been rather extensive. Any help is greatly appreciated. 

A memorial is being planned for May 21st, details to follow.

Thank you, and please remember to show great care with your loved ones every time you see them... We can never know when it might be the last time.
