On July 20th, our beloved Hal Riker suffered a massive heart attack and tragically passed away unexpectedly four days later, at the young age of 54 His sudden loss has left a deep hole in the lives of those who knew and loved him—especially his wife Kim, and their two children, Jackson (17)and Lilly (15)

Hal was more than just a husband and father—he was the heart of his family. Hal was a kind, compassionate and dedicated to his work, he worked tirelessly for many years at Hartford Insurance Company as the sole provider for his family to ensure all their needs were fulfilled. He took great pride in supporting his loved ones and ensuring his children had the opportunities they deserved. Hal always put everyone around him first and one of his final wishes was to donate his organs and give as many people as possible the opportunity to save or improve their lives.
