Richard Franceschi - Forever & Always

Richard Franceschi born on March 25th, 1992 was the first of four children to Betty. In his youth, Richard or as we’d like to call him and know him as Richie, would spend his time growing on our beautiful island of Puerto Rico. There he lived with our grandfather Santos and his most precious person on this planet Lumy or as he’d say “My real mother.” Further on Richie would come into our lives and change them forever. Arriving to New Jersey to his mother and three siblings, he would have it that we all stuck together. Nothing mattered more than family. Richie always had a love for music and dance, he loved his family, and above all was always loyal and true to himself. He had the biggest heart! Richie possessed something so significant, he carried himself with respect and humility. Love for all and empathy to those alike and not. And along with those traits, come those who admire as well those who envy. On the night of February 4th, 2024 Richard was a victim of a disgusting act of violence. Due to the lack of urgency with first responders and those around him, he succumbed to his injuries. Richard deserved better. Those who knew and have continued to know Richard will acknowledge that very fact. Known by many, loved by most if not all, Richard will continue to live on through his sisters, family, and close friends. I ask that you donate to this cause, for every single penny will be put into his funeral expenses and other additional expenses to make sure he gets sent off and rests in the best way possible. Please extend your condolences on this difficult period of mourning and grief through the direct support of this fundraiser. More details in regards of his service to be posted. Thank you all.
