Rodney will Live Forever in our Hearts
On January 2, a beautiful, loving, and kind 14-year-old boy unexpectedly left this earth. Rodney was a quiet, gentle boy who loved his family and was definitely considered a momma's boy. He played bass guitar and saxophone in the school band. He loved nature, especially animals. During his free time, he would take care of his pet turtle “Luigi,” his bird “Bluegaloo,” and his yellow gecko “Banana.” He was always concerned about stray animals and worried for kids that were left by themselves. Rodney was everyone's guardian angel.
We still cannot believe that he is gone. It seems like only yesterday Rodney was dancing and laughing with everyone at his great aunt’s 80th birthday. Rodney’s mom, Adriana, is my first cousin and we have always been close as a family. Before COVID, we would get together at family gatherings on a regular basis. This tragedy has impacted us all extremely hard.
In 2019, Rodney was sadly adjusting to his sister going off to college and also entering his last year of middle school. Then, COVID came. Life changed even more dramatically. Rodney lost the connection to his classmates as learning moved online. Transitioning into the first year of high school is very difficult, mentally and emotionally, in and of itself. It is hard to imagine how tough this would be during COVID. As a result, Rodney became more withdrawn. This message is grim but it is a harsh reminder of how important mental health issues are, especially during these unprecedented times.
Words cannot express the pain a mother and father feel by having to bury their child. Death, especially a suicide, is unimaginably heart-wrenching. As a parent, you feel responsible. Not only are you heartbroken over the loss of your child, you continually ask yourself, “What did I do wrong, what could I have done?” It is a lot to live with.
This fundraising campaign was created in hopes of helping Adriana and Rodney Sr. Moore grieve with minimal financial burden. The family is already overwhelmed by the financial impact of COVID, as many of us are. They need to bury their precious son, grandson, brother, and friend. More specifically, the fundraiser donations will be used to assist with the following expenses: ambulance and ER bills, burial/memorial costs, relocation of the family to a new residence, and financial relief for approximately 3 months to allow them to grieve. Adriana and Rodney will be the beneficiaries of all the donations from this fundraiser. The beneficiaries have authorized me to withdraw the funds from GoFundMe and transfer them into their account. As the family is mourning, they have asked to not be part of handling the transfer of the donations.
Your support for his family is greatly needed at this time. If able to, we ask that you please donate or if not, to at least share to help relieve his family of the financial burden of this tragedy. But more importantly, we ask for prayers. Anything you can give would be kind and greatly appreciated. We will be forever grateful.
Thank you for your blessings, kind words, and generosity. We would also like to thank the support from the local community.
