I am starting this GoFundMe on behalf of Alexandria Gomez as her loving father, Riley Brown, left his earthly home in Sedro-Woolley, Washington, for his heavenly one on April 6th, 2026, unexpectedly, leaving her devastated and with a financial burden. Alex still needs to fund his final arrangements. Alex, a single parent to 3 of his 8 grandchildren. Riley was preceded in death by his son, Ryan Brown. Riley raised Alex and Ryan in Riverside, CA, while working for the Press Enterprise. He then retired and moved to be near other extended family. Riley also served in the Navy. Alex and Ryan, his only two children, were the center of his world and his most precious gifts. The only thing that made him happier than being a dad was being UMPA to Ryan's kids: Robin, Tristin, Jacklyn, Logan, and Ellie, and Alex's kids: Allison, Evelyn, and Riley. They all loved every moment with him.

Thank you for any support you can offer this amazing daughter and mother.
