It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden passing of our “pops,” who suffered an unexpected heart attack on December 29th. His loss has left our family devastated and struggling to process this unimaginable grief.

Although our dad lived in Los Angeles, he passed away while in Nevada, which has created additional and unexpected expenses. We are now facing the costs of transporting him home, along with funeral and burial arrangements.

Pops was a loving father, grandfather, and husband, who meant the world to those who knew him. He was charismatic, hardworking, and always there for those he cared for.

We are humbly asking for help to cover funeral and burial expenses so we can honor his life and lay him to rest with the dignity he deserves. Any contribution—no matter the amount—will help ease this financial burden during an incredibly painful time.

If you are unable to donate, we ask that you please consider sharing this page and keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, love, and support during this difficult time.

With gratitude,

The Riojas Family.
