In Memory of Kenrich: A Loving Son

**In Loving Memory of Kenrich "Richie"

Dear Friends and Family,

My name is Carrie, and I've had the privilege of knowing Tiffany and her son Kenrich, affectionately known as Richie, for our entire lives. Tiffany and I have been best friends since we were just a year old, and I’ve witnessed firsthand the incredible bond they share as a family. He greatly admired his dad Alan and loved being that little brother giving his big sister Teona a hard time.

Richie, born with Down syndrome, faced challenges with unwavering determination and a radiant spirit. He touched the lives of so many and was a beacon of joy and love. Unfortunately, on March 31, 2025, Richie lost his brave battle with pneumonia. His absence leaves a profound void in our hearts, but his legacy will forever live on in the countless memories we've created together.

Richie was an active participant in school events, powwows, and sporting activities, surrounded by a loving family and a wide circle of friends. His vibrant personality and infectious smile illuminated every room he entered.

As Tiffany navigates this unimaginable grief and learns to adapt to life without her only son, I want to honor her resilience and strength. I can’t express how much I admire her for the obstacles she has overcome and her unwavering love for Richie. I find solace in knowing that he will always be with her in spirit, watching over her as her guardian angel.

In this time of need, I am reaching out to all of you to help support Tiffany and her family as they prepare to celebrate Richie’s life. I have set up a GoFundMe to assist with the costs associated with this celebration and to alleviate some of the financial burdens they may face.

If you can, please consider making a donation. Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a significant difference. Additionally, sharing this post within your networks would be immensely helpful in spreading the word.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and support during this difficult time. Together, let us honor Richie’s memory and support Tiffany and her family in their time of need.

With love and gratitude,

Carrie
