My family and I want to take the time to sincerely thank you all who have donated to the gofundme . As you know, we started this fundraiser to pay for Roderick's funeral, and all your contributions helped us reach our intended goal and for that, we are tremendously grateful.

Thanks again for your generosity and support!!

If you would still like to donate to the family until a trust fund is created, Roderick's mother's cash app is $Bigjudy85.

Hi, my name is Nyla Richard and I am the first cousin of Roderick Jones Jr. I am coming to you today to announce the passing of our beloved Roderick, or as we call him Jr. Jr sadly passed away on June 30, 2023, at 10:45 am, leaving behind his mother, Taneisha Richard, his siblings, and many family and friends who loved him very deeply. Our family is shocked and distraught by this unexpected loss. Unfortunately, our family is not financially prepared for this loss and for the high cost of a funeral service. If you knew Jr., you'd know how much he touched the lives of whoever he was around and always brought a smile to anyone's face. We want to give Jr. the memorial he deserves, to honor his memory, and say our last goodbyes. We the family are currently asking for donations to help cover the cost of the funeral. Any amount would be appreciated if you choose to do so, and there's absolutely no pressure. We want to thank everyone for all the kind words and support that you all have shown us during this difficult time. It means more to us than words can say. The funds from the fundraiser will ultimately be added to my account and then transferred to the mother of Roderick to pay for the funeral service.
