Arlo/Rio Furrydelphia Memorial Fund

Arlo, formerly known as Rio, @Purplesheppy on Twitter, was one of the finest individuals any of us had the pleasure of knowing. His time on this Earth was short, but he used it to radiate love and joy wherever he went. He brought smiles to people's faces and warmth to their hearts. He put others above himself and never asked for anything in return. He was an Emergency Medical Responder and gave his time in the service of others. He was a respected colleague, a trusted friend, and a beloved family member.

There is no service that we can provide that will do complete justice to his life. But we are going to try.

We are asking for $4,000 in donations. This will pay for dress uniforms for his honor guard, flags, flowers, and bunting for his service. Any money received in excess of our goal will either be put towards additional decorations or features for the memorial and around the con, or donated to The Trevor Project which works to prevent tragedies like Arlo's from ever happening.

From all of us at Furrydelphia and from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for any contribution of any size you are able to make. Always remember that you are loved. And may Arlo rest in peace.
