Darion "King Leo" Riley ... Taken Too Soon

Donation protected
I am asking for help with burying my Son whos life was tragically taken. Of course a mother never thinks she is going to have to bury her child so I am totally unprepared for this.

Darion was a unique individual but also my mini in so many ways. He was one you could call on when needed and have no doubt that he would be there. He was a father before anything to his 2 beautiful daughters, his daddys girls 100%. He loved his family and there was nothing he wouldnt do for you even as "adopted family".

For a long time my son was "lost", trying to find his purpose. We had several tearful conversations, he always felt he "didnt belong here". Honestly he was too much for this world right now. His way of thinking, his high level of intelligence, his love for life no matter what, his love for and need to help others, his deep spirituality, his drive to bring others together ... He was unique from the day he was born.

Before he was taken from us Darion felt he had found his calling, and that was fighting with "Zero to 100 Fitness and MMA". The way he lit up when he spoke about his fights and his team mates was beautiful. He was finally happy, finally found a passion, finally felt loved and a sense of family and was well on his way to finding himself. And was good at what he did. I did not realize how much he impacted others and not just me.

I lost my youngest,my sunshine, my spiritual mini....Im going to miss those deep convos, the goofyness, the costant talking, the constant hugs, the "good morning beautiful" calls... there is so much to miss.

I just want to put you to rest like the king that you are ...
