In Support of Ricardo "Ricky" Gomez

It is with broken hearts that we share the tragic loss of our beloved Ricardo "Ricky" Gomez, who was only 17 years old when his life was taken from him in a senseless act of violence here in our Little Village community.

Ricky was a good person with a kind heart. He was funny, respectful, and always had a way of making the people around him smile. He loved soccer and was known throughout the community as a good person who was loved and cared about by many.

Losing someone so young and full of life is something no family should ever have to go through. Our hearts are broken, and we are trying to find the strength to get through these incredibly difficult days. As a family and as a community, we are leaning on one another, remembering Ricky for the person he was and the joy he brought to the people around him.

We are asking for any support you can give to help our family with the funeral and memorial expenses during this heartbreaking time. Any amount, no matter how small, would mean so much to us. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean just as much. 

Thank you to everyone who has reached out, checked on our family, shared memories of Ricky, and stood besides us during this difficult time. 

Please help us honor Ricky's life and give him the goodbye he deserves.

Rest in peace, Ricky. You are loved, you are missed, and you will never be forgotten.  ❤️
