## Resource

A heartbreaking yet powerful story of Riley, a 21-year-old firefighter hopeful whose life was cut short after a DWI — a trauma he couldn’t forgive himself for. His mom, Renee, reveals how subtle signs of struggle can go unnoticed, urging listeners to trust their instincts and reach out when something feels off. She shares the devastating final moments before Riley’s death — a promise that his record would be cleared, never fulfilled — and speaks to the idea that people die twice: once physically, then again when their story is forgotten. Renee’s mission? To keep Riley’s memory alive, reminding us all to listen, care, and never let someone’s story fade.
