Rick Paetow’s memorial costs and to support JJ

Donation protected
Hello everyone, I am creating this on behalf of Terry Paetow (mother of Rick Paetow)

On September 2nd Rick Paetow was unexpectedly taken from this world in a tragic Motorcycle accident. I met Rick through my husband about 15 years ago and through the years Rick has become a great friend and brother! For those of you that know Rick you know that he is one of the most selfless men out there. If I ever had a need or an ear to listen or advice needed Rick was always there. He put everyone else above himself, but most of all he put his son JJ first. JJ is an energetic, and amazing 11 year old boy and his Daddy hung the moon and I am pretty sure Rick felt the same about JJ. Rick was very much a family man he did everything he could to help his mom around their property, and I am sure has left many projects unfinished. His motorcycle was a passion and huge stress reliever for him! In true Rick fashion he also was able to use his motorcycle to help others by organizing and leading benefit rides for those in need of a little hand up. My husband and I have spent several hours beside him on two wheels. When his bike was down last summer I think he was the grumpiest I had ever seen him. There is something to say about getting on the bike leaving all your cares behind you and that was definitely Ricks therapy. Ricks sudden passing has left a huge void in our hearts and his Mother (Terry) and Sister (Heather) are amazingly strong women, but they need help with the cost of his memorial as well as providing for the needs of Ricks sweet son JJ. Please help us to relieve the financial burden that Terry, Heather, and JJ are facing at this time. You can donate here on Gofundme, or you can donate to the Venmo set up for Terry and the family by Sirena Buck. Venmo is @Sirena-Buck
