Funeral cost for a Veteran victim of homicide

Donation protected

Please help with funeral cost for Jonathan Ricks. On Feb 15th his 13 year old daughter found him passed away in their home when she got back from school.

Previously on Jan 28th Jonathan had been a victim of an attack by multiple people. The doctors believed he was hit in the head which caused blunt force trauma. The following weeks his wife Jessica Ricks brought him to the hospital multiple times to be seen because he was hallucinating and having abnormal behavior. The hospitals always sent him home and one even saying "it's just a minor brain bleed, nothing to worry about."
This is now an open homicide investigation.

Jonathan was 101st Airborne Army medic. He served a tour in Iraq during a time that was very scary for our nation. It was extremely dangerous and he lost many friends. Jonathan suffered from seizures and other illnesses from fighting for our freedoms, but he would do it all again. He believed in being a patriot and being a good person. He was a great father and his life centered around his family. Always teaching the kids and taking them on new adventures. He was a strong leader and took care of everything and everyone.

Now we need help caring for Jonathan and his family. Jonathan leaves behind his son Logan, daughter Leila and wife Jessica. The family is scrambling to find his funeral funds as most people under the age of 40 do not have plans in place for something like this.. Jonathan did not have a life insurance policy either so this fundraiser will also help take care of his kids. Any donations will help and be extremely appreciated. We ask you share this fundraiser and please pray for his family. Thank you.
