Assist Brenda in Dave's Cremation Costs

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Dee, my uncle was found yesterday by my mom murdered in his home. I am starting this gofundme to try to help with the unexpected loss and financial responsibilities for the cremation cost, services and my mothers loss of wages during this time. Early afternoon on July 5th my mother, Brenda Johnson, received a phone call that her brother, Dave Risher, was missing from his home and was asked to go to the new Kensington police station where a missing person report was filed. Upon leaving the police department my mom and stepdad went out to look for him to cover the area for over four hours trying to find any possible leads or sightings. Never once thinking this was a recovery mission for a body.. After hours of searching they returned to his home and finally gained entry to find him brutally murdered. My mom walked in and found her older brother laying lifeless, alone, again brutally murdered. I am reaching out for support, because I know my mom is going to need support because no ones expects to be in a situation like this. No one should have to go through a situation like this. No one deserves to die in such a heinous way. We want to give him the proper funeral and burial. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I appreciate any help that we can get at this time.

Let's not forget to be kind each other, you never know what someone is dealing with in their own personal life. Life is hard, but death is even harder when you are the one to survive and be left to pick up whatever pieces remain.
