On the early morning of February 3rd, my son took his last breath, leaving behind his baby sister and myself, along with his father and two children.

I am aware of another GoFundMe and I have heard the concerns about it not being done by his sister or myself. The other is valid. I can understand the concern, though.

Tonight, Emily and I come to anyone who happens upon this GoFundMe to donate if you can and if you can’t, to share and spread the plea to help us - help be a voice to someone who can no longer speak.

The circumstances in which Ronnie passed are not adding up. A mother shouldn’t have to find her son dead at 26, and she shouldn’t have to take photos of his passing. She shouldn’t have to tell the police chief how to do his job. Nor should she ever have to help place her son in a body bag and zip it closed, kissing his forehead and promising she will fight.

I cannot, and will not, disclose details surrounding my son’s death. I can tell you with 100 percent certainty, my son was taken from this life. I have spent the last week spinning my wheels from one department to the next. With law enforcement helpless because one chief controls two towns and for some reason will not request an autopsy on my son, giving him only a 4 to 6 sentence report on his death. To which some law enforcement have directly stated; to not stop making calls. Going so far as to state “Your son’s report was disgustingly short and disturbing”

The chief of police, Making a mother who just lost her son place calls, just moments after, to get someone other than him at the scene to investigate; only to have procedure not followed.

Anyone who knows me knows I don’t speak on it unless I have an abundance of black and white, audio, and screenshots to back it up.

I am done having people go down like my son has. My daughter lost her best friend, her sense of safety, and the life she had planned out in her head with her brother; her keeper.

I have a funeral to plan, an obituary to write, and now I need to come up with the funds for an autopsy that my son deserves, and I requested, even though Maine statute for unattended death requires it.

I need the help of family, friends, and strangers to raise this money by noon tomorrow so my son can be taken to autopsy and let his body speak. From there, justice will come.

My son may have had a past, but that does NOT mean he didn’t deserve the future he could have made for himself; taken from him or an incompetent police chief controlling two towns to not follow what Maine statutes offer for protection.

I am done spinning my wheels with law enforcement. Done listening to their complaining about the streets needing to be cleaned up but making a mother who just lost her son do their job when I should be grieving.

My son stood on his loyalty, his word, and his character, and to those reading this, so do his sister and his mother stand on exactly what my son did!

Any funds raised above the autopsy amount needed will go directly to creating new laws in Maine for labeling our citizens felons for the rest of their lives and calling it rehabilitation. Sending them back to the streets and then crying about our crime problems. It will be called Ronnie’s law. As well as making autopsies mandatory even for those who our police department considers lost causes; only worth a few sentences.

If you’re not comfortable donating to the GoFundMe, you can take the number off the autopsy information and donate directly to the center.

I don’t like to beg, and I take care of my own and others. However, I do not have these funds, and I cannot fail my son in the last fight he needs me for.
