In Loving Memory of Derrick Riley — Help Us Say Goodbye

Donation protected
Our hearts are shattered as we share the sudden and heartbreaking loss of Derrick Riley — a beloved son, a loyal friend, and someone who brought so much light and laughter into the lives of everyone who knew him.
Derrick wasn’t just someone you knew — he was someone you felt. His smile could brighten your worst day. His loyalty ran deep. And if you ever needed someone to show up, Derrick was already there. He had a heart bigger than most, and the kind of soul you don’t come across often.
His passing has left a hole that can’t be filled, and while we’re still struggling to make sense of it all, we’re doing our best to honor him the way he would’ve wanted — surrounded by love, respect, and community.
We’re asking for your help to give Derrick the funeral and farewell he deserves. The costs are more than we can handle alone, and during a time when grief is already overwhelming, this kind of financial stress makes it even harder.
If you can give — no matter the amount — please know how deeply grateful we are. And if you can’t give right now, please consider sharing this with others who may be able to help.
Every dollar will go directly to funeral expenses and to support Derrick’s family as they navigate this painful loss. More than anything, we just want to give him the love and rest he gave so freely to the rest of us.
Thank you for being a part of Derrick’s life and legacy. We miss him more than words can say.
With love,
Friends & family of Derrick Riley
