It breaks my heart to hear that my friend Richie has passed away at the young age of 48.

We grew up in church together - from children into our teenage years, we shared laughs, music, and memories that still make me smile. We´d hang out, sing along to our favorite songs, and just enjoy life the way only kids can.

Richie had his struggles, like so many of us do, but I pray he has found peace now. Gone too soon.

He leaves behind so many who will miss him deeply. My heart is heavy for his family and all who loved him.

Rest easy, Richie. You will be remembered.
