Richard J Barreiro
Richard Jose Barreiro, was born August 21, 1989, in Passaic, New Jersey to Zenaida Pagan and Richard Barreiro.
While his family and friends are shocked by his passing, they are all thankful for his joyous life. Whether you called him "Bam" or Richie, he always seemed to relish the simple pleasures of life. His smile and laugh were so unique it captured anyone’s attention. His passion was fixing up cars, breakdancing, listening to music (mainly Lil’ Wayne), going to the beach, hanging out with friends, singing to his fans on Facebook (he was known as the Facebook Sensation), fishing, but more importantly spending time with his family.
In addition to his parents, Richie is survived by his brother Lukas Morillo, uncles, aunties, cousins, and friends.
Early on Richie proved he was a phenomenal athlete, even as he seemed too always be shorter than most. He excelled in such sports as wrestling, track, football, and boxing while growing up. Richie would always make you feel like you were the most important person in his life while in his presence. No matter if there was a party or any type of gathering you can assure Richie was the life of the party while making everyone laugh as he would effortlessly draw people to his uniqueness. You can rest assured, there will only ever be one "BAM"
