Hi, my name is Savannah Keith and I am the cousin of Riley Murphy. I am writing to share his story and hope to reach all of the people whose lives Riley touched and made an impact on.

On the early morning of August 23rd, 2025, Riley was driving west on CR 60 in Auburn and was unfortunately in a terrible accident. We may never know the answers that we are all wondering, but we can and will always remember the radiating energy that was Riley!

With permission from his parents, I started this GoFundMe in hopes of just a little bit of the pressure being lifted during this sudden tragedy. If you can help, even the smallest amount is appreciated! If you’re feeling up to it, leave a short note or reasoning of how you knew Riley or how he may have affected your life!

Losing Riley has been unimaginable and still doesn’t feel real to most. I know I, for one, haven’t been able to accept losing a cousin who was so much more than that. Riley was always the goofy one; no matter the energy of the room, you could have been having a terrible day, and Riley walked through the door and cracked a joke or just asked how you are and made it all better. Let’s flood Facebook with all the good stories of how much love and laughter was spread through him.

I want to personally thank each and every one of you in advance, even if it is just a share or to read this story. So thank you, and may Riley rest in peace and watch over all of us…❤️
