My Dad Richard Rice aka Punkin unexpectedly passed away in his home on March 17, 2026. This was sudden and has been a complete shock to his children, grandchildren, and family especially. We are still trying to process this loss and figure out how to move forward without him. He was a loving father, grandfather, friend, and member of the community, and his absence is deeply felt by everyone who knew him.

We are raising funds to help cover the funeral expenses and give my Dad the memorial he deserves. This has been a difficult time for our family, both emotionally and financially, and any support would mean so much to us. Every donation will go directly toward honoring his memory and helping us say goodbye.

My family and I have been overwhelmed by the amount of love and support. My Dad had so many people who loved him. Thank you for sharing and/or donating. Anything helps.
