My uncle Ricky was always the one to make people smile, even during the toughest times. He was a loving father to two boys, and his youngest, just 11 years old, adored him. Ricky faced many challenges in life, but he always tried to find the bright side and worked hard to provide for his son. He was not only a wonderful uncle to me growing up, but also a friend to many, always spreading happiness wherever he went.

On Monday, June 1st, 2026, Ricky was tragically killed in an accident. His sudden loss has left our family heartbroken. We are now trying to arrange for his cremation and a memorial service to honor his memory, hoping to gather friends and family to celebrate the joy he brought into our lives. With only my grandma and Ricky's son's mom to care for his young son, we are also hoping to set aside some savings for him, so that when he turns 18, he will have a little head start and a reminder of how much his dad meant to so many people.

We are so sorry to ask for help, but if anyone is able to donate toward Ricky's funeral expenses and to support his son, it would mean the world to us. Your kindness will help us honor Ricky's memory and show his son the difference his dad made in the lives of others.
