Help to lay our dear Wayne Riskedahl to rest
Donation protected
It is with very heavy and sad hearts that we have to lay our beautiful Wayne to rest. Wayne passed away on the morning of 4/21/2021 at the young age of 70 years old.
As many of you know, Wayne had been ignoring his own health to focus on caring for the love of his life, Vito. In the last couple of weeks, Wayne poor body has just been too tired and he needed to rest.
Such a beautiful heart and soul. I loved everything about him. His capacity to love, his fucking sense of humor (omg, he and I would laugh our asses off over the stupidest shit ever...so many wonderful memories and times), so much love for him. His immense love and devotion to his husband. The live he has led, the lives he has touched, the souls he has saved.
I am taking care of arrangements for Wayne. He will be cremated for now. And I envision when the day comes for Vito to join him, that somehow, someway we find a resting place for the both to be together into eternity.
I am asking for more than just to help cover the cost of cremation. I am asking us all to step in and help me untangle this a bit. There are expenses that I know have not been taken care of yet and I do not have access to their bank accounts to try and get it taken care of. I figure the money raised will go to cover Wayne and help Vito, as arraignments will need to be made for him on a more permanent basis. While Vito has an amazing and supportive family, they are far away. I feel that I need to make sure that Wayne's spirit does not have to worry, and he can rest in peace. We will make sure his Vito is taken care of. And when I say WE, I mean me and YOU. We all love this amazing vibrant kick ass man.
If you can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
Also, we will plan a Zoom gathering to celebrate Wayne.
