Hi everyone. My name is Michelle, and it is with overwhelming sadness that I am coming to our community today on behalf of my dear friend Caitlin.

On March 10, 2026, at 10:10pm, Cait received a notification that is every parent's worst nightmare- a critical crash alert from Life360. Our sweet Rilee was simply coming home.

He was on his way home to make cornbread with his family at the request of his beloved Grandma, because that is exactly who Rilee was. He was funny and kind, with a smile that lit up every room. We had just celebrated his 19th birthday, and he had so much life ahead of him.

More than anything, Rilee loved his family and his friends. He shared an incredible bond with his siblings: Gracie, Kalli, Cameron, Landon, Kylie, Jaelee, and Lydia, and the ones he acquired along the way. Rilee embodied an older brother and uncle role to many of our family friends. Rilee was deeply loved by everyone who knew him. At NO fault to Rilee, what should have been a normal night turned into a devastating and heartbreaking loss that has forever changed this family's life.

Those who know this family know how incredibly giving they are. They would quite literally give the shirt off their backs to help someone in need. Now, in the midst of their heartbreak, they are facing the unexpected financial burdens that come with such a sudden and devastating loss.

With Cait's blessing, I am asking for support to help ease the financial stress of funeral and memorial/celebration of life expenses, burial costs, and the burden of missed work during this difficult time. Any donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward helping the family focus on grieving and remembering the beautiful life Rilee lived.

From the bottom of our heart, Thank You.
