Rachard was one of my core go to people at school. He came the first year I came to Middlebridge and we immediately clicked. No matter what he was there for me during my tough times. He even helped me get my sweatshirt back when I needed it. He was undoubtedly the kindest person I met and was such a great friend and mentor. He es such a fun person to go to concerts with in reality I have nothing but respect for Rachard.

Rachard was like a father to me. I looked up to him in so many different ways not just as an RI but as a second father, a friend, a leader, a coach, and a role model. You were someone who I could talk to about anything and feel comfortable and trust you and know whatever I said you were there for me no matter what. Whenever you come into a room you bring such positive vibes and great energy. While being at Middlebridge you were a huge part of my growth and my time there and still to this day in spirits. You have taught me so many things and gave me such long life skills and advice that I will remember and use for a lifetime. Rachard was a person who was there for someone no matter what the cause was. He was such a kind, positive, caring, funny, smart, talented person. I will miss him every day but I know you will be watching down on me and rooting and cheering me on every step of the way. Thank you for being by my side and believing in me when I didn't believe in myself. I love you. Rest easy second pops.

You were the first person to take me to my first concert (Juice Wrld). You were the first boys 2 RI I spoke to when I got to MBS on day one. You were the first person to cheer me on when I made a 3 in basketball or in any sports. You were the one to help me build my bad boy personality! You were the one that almost made me throw up doing the kahona challenge! I miss you Rashard!

Rachard was more than just an RI, he was a friend as well. I trusted him more than most people because he never failed to shame me for my mistakes. Everyone who has ever met Rachard can agree that he was a friendly, kind hearted man who brought nothing but positive energy. You will be missed dearly.

Rachard was someone who was there for everyone no matter what sort of issue it was! He was kind, supportive, loving, accepting, and just a really good man! He was a light in so many people’s lives especially when things were dark. Rachard’s compassion and love for his work and the students he worked with ended up making him part of our family. As a friend to us all, you will be missed Rachard.

Rachard never failed to be one of the kindest, most genuine people I’ve known. He lit up a room so effortlessly, and everyone had nothing but love for him and his contribution to the Middlebridge community. I always looked forward to seeing him and he will be so dearly missed.

Rachard was an amazing part of the Middlebridge community I’m so glad I had to honor and pleasure of spending two years with him. He made a huge impact on my life. He encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and join the basketball team. He brightened every single room he walked into. I miss you Rachard.

To Rachard’s Family,
Rachard was a brother to me. The brother that I never had. There are a small amount of people in my life that I can say that about. In my time at Middlebridge School, Rachard and I clicked in such a short time. Whether it was hanging out, coaching, or one on one time just to talk about life, I always knew that I had a brother and a mentor to go to. He always had my back and there was a lesson that he taught me in literally every interaction we had. It goes without saying how important he was to everyone he knew. Rachard will always be with me.

Rachard was a huge part of my transition to Middlebridge School. He was one of the first people I became close with at school. He truly made my transition a lot easier from public school to private school. He was an amazing person and had an remarkable life. I feel so lucky that I got to know him, and got four remarkable years getting to know him. Rachard was a kindhearted and a generous person. I will never forget the fond memories of Rachard. He was one of the funniest people to be around. He was able to effortlessly make everyone else around him have a good time. This is truly devastating to me and everybody who knew him is experiencing this great loss. I will miss him greatly.

While I didn’t know Rachard personally I felt like I did. The way he would read the senior speeches at the school where he made such a huge impact on his students, made it easy for you to be able to tell the kind of person he was whether you knew him or not. My love prayers and sympathy go out to his family and loved ones. Gone far too soon but never gonna be forgotten

Rachard was such an honorable, kind, and giving guy. He was a residatial instructor at middlebridge school and could walk into a room and radiate positivity. he could make anyone laugh and was always there for support. Rachard always put his students first in any way he could. He was always 100% involved with us. I can’t thank him enough for the impact he has had on my life. His drive and motivation to be the best person he could be is like nothing i have ever seen. I hope he knew how much he meant to me and others around him. Such a beautiful soul he was. We have lost a friend, a mentor, and a leader but i would like to believe that we have gained an angel. Thank you Rachard, thinking of you always

Rachard was a great role modal and a friend. I still remember all the great times we had together. We used to play pick up basketball and do trick passes and plays against the other teams. We invented a fun game to play in the dorm called door ball. We would stay up late playing video games. He was one of the best people in my life and made my time at middle bridge significantly better then I could’ve asked for. He read my senior speech for me, and always helped me grow into the best possible fort of myself. I will miss him so much and our time together will live on in my memory. Rest in piece.

To the Nash family and friends of Rachard,
Rachard was my favorite co-worker I had the privilege of working with at Shaidzon Beer Company. He was kind, funny, and humbly-- but obviously-- wise and smart beyond his years. He was so easy to talk to and laugh with that I would forget we were at work. Whether just passing the time or delving into hyper specific opinions, we never ran out of ways to entertain and enthuse each other.
I only just got to know him, but Rachard easily made a lasting impression because he was such a good guy. We talked tentatively about having a puppy playdate after he adopted Layla, but never got the chance to introduce our dogs. I'll remember him for his laidback demeanor and infectious positivity. He was such an endearing personality and his impact on students and friends alike will resonate forever.

Rachard was an amazing person, with an amazing outlook in life. He was always there for me and could only give me positive feedback and the best advice. The extent he would go to have myself and others backs was unimaginable. And I love him sincerely for all that he has done. Words can not explain my grief, disbelief, and how heartbroken I am that such a kind and professional man had to be taken away from all of us so soon. His memory will live on and he will always be in the back of my head. For everybody though, this is a time where we all have to come together to be there for one another and do what we know Rachard would want best; we all have to stay strong. Because I know deep down that Rachard is always watching us and he would want the best for us. Stay strong all, I love you Rachard. Rest easy bro.

Rachard was one of a kind. I was lucky enough to have him as my live in RI, which meant that he was the adult who looked after us, at my boarding school. While I knew him for 5 years, it felt much longer. He was the older brother that I never had. He helped me both academically and socially. He taught me many life lessons that I will cherish for the rest of my life. He helped me mature into the young man that I am today. I will miss him dearly.

Rachard was the kindest, supportive, and thoughtful person I have ever known. He was someone I didn't just call my role model or inspiration, but he was also my friend. I will miss him so much and I send my prayers to his family and friends.

My utmost condolences and sympathy to Rachard's entire family. I worked with Rachard at Shaidzon Brewing in West Kingston, RI from 2018-2019 and always had a great time working with him - we had very many memorable shifts together. He will not be forgotten.
