It is with the heaviest hearts that we share the sudden and devastating loss of Riley — a beloved father, son, and friend to so many. Riley passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind three incredible children: Eric, Jersee, and Jorgia.

Riley’s love for his kids was endless and fierce. They were his whole world, and he was theirs. His smile, his laughter, his big bear hugs — all of it made their lives brighter. He always showed up for them, whether it was cheering from the sidelines, staying up late to talk through life, or being the steady, loving presence every child deserves.

Now, in the wake of this unimaginable loss, we’re asking for support to help carry these three young hearts through the difficult days ahead.

This GoFundMe has been created to:

• Provide financial support for Eric, Jersee, and Jorgia’s immediate needs.

• Help with Celebration of Life expenses for Riley.

• Support Eric, Jersee, and Jorgia's emotional, educational, and long-term wellbeing.

No amount is too small, every single donation is a blessing. If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this campaign, keeping Riley’s memory alive, and wrapping his children in love and prayers.

Thank you for helping us honor the life Riley lived — and for walking alongside his children as they navigate this new reality without their dad.

With gratitude and love,

Talia Rome
