With heavy hearts, we are setting up this GoFundMe to help our family during this tragic and unexpected loss of our beloved father, brother, uncle, and friend Richard Pagan “Richie,” who passed away on May 29, 2026.

Born on September 5, 1973, Richie was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, where he was loved by so many and made an impact on everyone he met.

A die-hard Mets and Knicks fan, Richie brought laughter, love, and unforgettable memories to his family and friends. Everyone who knew him knew

his heart, his energy, and the love he had for those around him. He leaves behind 5 children who are now facing the unimaginable pain of losing their father.

At this time, Richie is currently in North Carolina, and our family would love to bring him home to Newark to be laid to rest surrounded by loved ones. We are asking for any support possible to help with funeral arrangements, transportation, and unexpected expenses during this difficult time.

Any donation, prayer, or share means more than words can express. Thank you for helping our family honor Richie’s life and bring him home.
