This goes out to everyone and anyone who knew my son Richard Thomas. We are devastated by the tragic, unexpected death of my son, my firstborn, my Superman, and the best dad in the world to his two girls, Haley and Mila, not to mention the proud grandfather to his namesake Ricky. He tragically passed away while on vacation in El Salvador. His girls are absolutely devastated!!

Right now we are trying to navigate all the red tape of getting him home. This is turning out to be a long and expensive process. I am humbly asking for any help that you can give, no matter how much. At this point, Haley and Mila have no access to any of Richard’s assets to even get there to go through this process. Haley and I have to go to El Salvador in order to get the process moving.

My son was the best friend that you could ever have! He would give you the shirt off his back to help people out. He was so proud of his daughters and the life he had built for them. I’m still at a loss for words. He was a bright light in many people’s lives and will be greatly missed. Please help in any way you can.
