On July 14th, 2025 our dad, Sam Rios, was called home to be with the Lord. We know his passing leaves an immense hole in the hearts of those whose lives he touched and who loved him, including friends, family, but especially us, his children, who could always count on him to guide, support and love us through the highs and lows of life. Simply put, he was one of our best friends and an incredible father and grandfather.

We want to honor our dad and his legacy with a celebration of life that will allow us to gather and share a meal with all those who knew and loved him and to share music and memories together as a way of healing our broken hearts.

All funds will go directly towards hosting a celebration of life event including facility rental and food/drink, etc. We appreciate anything you may be able to donate. If you’re unable to at this time, we ask that you pray for our family as we navigate life without our dad/grandpa and for a continued peace that surpasses all understanding.

With broken, heavy and yet grateful hearts, we thank you.

Sam, Melinda, Jessica, Michelle, Jared, Eric, Jaclyn
