Hi, my name is Alicia Jensen, and I’m Richie’s sister.

It’s with a shattered heart that I share the sudden and unexpected loss of my beloved brother, Richard Anthony Rapazzo Jr. who passed away on July 13, 2025, at just 36 years old.

Richie had a gentle spirit and a heart that gave endlessly, even when he had little for himself. He endured more hardship than most of us will ever understand, yet somehow, he always found a way to love, to give, and to care deeply for the people around him. Most recently, he devoted his life to caring full-time for our disabled mother, never asking for anything in return.

We are devastated by his loss and are doing our best to navigate this difficult time. As we plan to lay Richie to rest, we are humbly asking for support to help give him the dignity and peace he deserves. Your contributions will go directly toward funeral and memorial expenses, allowing us to honor Richie’s life with love, respect, and the kind of farewell someone like him truly deserves.

If you aren't able to donate, share, or send a message of support, it means more to us than words can express. Thank you for helping us carry Richie home.

With love and gratitude,

Alicia Jensen

P.S. The service date is currently being determined and will share details once we have more information.
