Our beloved son, brother, and friend, Arvin Richie Gera, born in Atlanta, GA, on August 9,

1984, left this world unexpectedly at the young age of 35 on July 27, 2020. Richie grew up in Atlanta and grew into a gentleman with many passions and attributes that influenced all of those that he encountered. He graduates next week from Emory

He had a love and passion for traveling, sailing, snowboarding, music, exotic cars, motorcycle riding, cooking, and being a fitness enthusiast, and shared his passions with everyone he loved. As we celebrate his life we can all find peace in each of these areas of life that Richie found so fulfilling. When you think of Richie, celebrate the good moments you had with him and the smiles he brought to your heart. “We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest.
