Hello everyone, my name is Kariann Rodriguez and it is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of my beloved uncle, Richard Colon.

Uncle Richie was a wonderful father, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend who touched the lives of everyone around him.

All were heartbroken by Richard's passing and were not prepared for the high cost of a funeral service. The goal is to give him the dignified and heartfelt send-off he deserves, which is why this fundraiser was created.

Donations are sought to help cover the costs of Uncle Richie's funeral service, which includes a memorial service and cremation. The fundraising goal is $4500, and the hope is to raise these funds by September 14 to proceed with the arrangements. I understand it is a short time but any donation, no matter the amount, will help alleviate the financial strain on the family during this incredibly difficult time. If unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser with others who knew Richard Colon.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity.

Sincerely,

The Colon Family
