Richard’s Story

Site created on November 2, 2021

On 10/30/2021 Richard was admitted to the hospital and initial testing has revealed a mass in his brain. For the past few months, this has been the best place to get updates on his status, his needs, and ways to support the family.

Richard passed in peace on 1/2/2022.

We look forward to honoring the life of Richard at a service that will be live-streamed on Tuesday, January 11, 2022 at 11 AM.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that memorial contributions be made to the Denver Rescue Mission: https://denverrescuemission.org/ways-to-give
