My husband and I came to know of Richard by participating in a benefit ride for him. I began following his page. I had no idea that I would later know first hand of what hew was battling until March when my granddaughter was diagnosed with DIPG. Richard then truly became and inspiration to our family as we followed his progress, and victories during his battle. Mom, you and your faith are also an inspiration. You and your family will forever be in my prayers. Maylea's Nonnee...Debbi White

I can't even begin to imagine how you must be feeling. My heart is breaking for you and Rheagan and Devin. You were truly blessed with an angel from God. An angel who was called home way too soon. But in his short lifetime, he touched so many people. On the Sunday that Richard passed I was at church and the pastor was talking about the bad things we go through in life and how we should try and look at these things as gifts directly from the hands of God. And use these 'gifts' to glorify God. That is much easier said than done. But you have done that from day one. I don't know, actually I do know, where you get your strength from but I still don't know how you do it. We do have strength in knowing that he is with Jesus now and we will see him again soon. But the beautiful little body that held the sweetest little soul is gone now. I love you and thank you for allowing God's glory to shine through you and Richard during all of this ?

To a young man that changed people hearts and loved his family so dearly especially his four legged Best friend. Don't know this family personally only through my daughter Sheena and friends that know them. this family was touched by a young man that changed their world in so many ways and so many people's hearts he touched just by being the little boy God created. No more pain and I pray that God will touch his family and give them peace and love and the memories forever because one day they will meet on the street of gold with God. God Bless you and continued prayer.

To Richards family:: I'm so sorry for your loss but always be proud that you were able to give him such a full life, filled with adventures and new friends this past 23 months. You will always have those precious memories. Richard was a brave trooper and kept going even with the pain and frustration of this terrible disease. Reagan and Devin, I know how difficult it is for you but never forget the lesson Richard taught you about living life to the fullest, never waste one day or let one day end with your anger unresolved. cry out to Jesus who will always be there. How you live EACH DAY matters. I know Richard is safe in the arms of Jesus and exploring heaven. Live your lives with Richard tucked in your hearts until you meet again beyond the sunset.
