Ric Brito Memorial Fund Seeks Help With His Funeral Expenses

GoFundMe crowd-sourcing website seeks funds for variety of local causes, individuals and organizations.

The Ric Brito Memorial Fund has been set up on GoFundMe to help his family deal with funeral expenses to “bring him to his final resting place,” according to Natalie Murphy Simoneau. 

Simoneau created the fund in memory of the Riverside man several weeks ago.

"A golden heart stop beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best" 

On October 31, a beautiful soul, who was loved by so many, passed on. Although his journey has ended here on Earth, his spirit surely lives on. Please help the Brito family bring him to his final resting place. We are grateful for any and all contributions in his honor.

“Let not your hearts be troubled, believe in God, walk by faith not by sight. Our loved one, Ric Brito, believed.”
