Sergeant Sean Rios Memorial Fund
Donation protected
Sergeant Sean Rios of the Houston Police Department was murdered on his way to work on 11/9/2020. He may have heard a call that shots had been fired, or saw something happening and wanted to help. Even though he was off duty, on his way to work, he responded, because that is who he is. He was met with multiple gunshot wounds but was able to run 55 yards to a hotel for help where he then succumbed to his wounds. Sean was an amazing man, son, father, brother, friend, officer, and protector. He has left behind 4 children aged 9, 12, 14, and 17, along with his mother and father, Bonnie and George Rios, brother Adam Rios, and many other friends, family, and loved ones. He loved his children with his whole heart and was a kind soul. It goes without saying that he will be greatly missed but absolutely never forgotten.
*If anyone has any questions or concerns about the validity or reasons I have set up this GoFundMe please reach out to Adam Rios. He instructed me to direct any inquiries to him. Message me if you need his information.
*Yes I am living in Colorado, yes I know the family personally and no, this is not a scam. I appreciate those of you trying to make sure no one takes advantage of a tragedy.
**Another update: Houston PD is not paying for the funeral, that doesn't mean they are refusing either. At this time, to my knowledge, the family is. Even though some expenses are covered for his children and possibly his Ex-Wife, those are not the only people struggling and while the PD will take care of some things for the rest of his family right now, I'm not sure how long that will be. (This is not a bashing of the police department)
**Viewing will be held Tuesday November 17th. Details are in the updates.
***All donations will go to the Rios family.
Thank you for your support and
