Life story

Richard Guarderas Jr, born on March 6, 2002, was a cherished son, beloved by his family and friends. Tragically, his bright light was extinguished on July 8th, 2020, due to the senseless act of gun violence. In his 18 years of life, Richard touched the hearts of many with his warmth, kindness, and vibrant spirit.

He possessed an infectious smile, always ready to lend a helping hand and brighten the day of those around him. Richard laughter filled rooms and his genuine smile brought joy to all who knew him. He had a passion for life and a determination to make the best out of life.

Richard's memory lives on in the hearts of those who loved him deeply. Though his time with us was far too short, the impact he made will be cherished forever. His legacy serves as a reminder of the preciousness of life and the urgent need for peace and understanding in our communities.

May Richard Guarderas Jr spirit continue to inspire kindness, compassion, and unity among us all.
