Support for Richard Zarilla's Funeral Costs

With a heavy heart, we share the unexpected passing of Richard Zarilla on December 2, 2025.

He was 57 years young and leaves behind his partner in life, Lori, daughters, Kelsay, Colby, and Randi, as well as 6 grandchildren. Rich held many jobs throughout his lifetime, but his years as a Freedom Area school bus driver were his absolute favorite. In his free time, he enjoyed spending time with family, friends, fishing, shooting, and historic reenacting. He particularly enjoyed his role as a surgeon with the Civil War reenactment group First Battalion Hospital and portraying Civil War era Santa.

As we navigate this unexpected loss, we are asking for help to cover funeral expenses. Any amount is deeply appreciated and will help us honor Rich's life. Thank you for your kindness and support.
