In Memory of Raleigh Paulson

Our son Raleigh Paulson (Golden Colorado) passed away on June 16, 2024 at the age of 22 from an accidental overdose. The outpouring of love from family and friends reminds us just how much we have lost. He had so much potential and so much capacity for love. But, we lost him to the scourge of addiction and an eventual overdose.




We want to help other families avoid this fate and believe SAFE Project can make a difference. 

We intend to do volunteer work with SAFE Project and encourage you to make a donation in Raleigh’s memory.



Thank you,


Carrie Paulson and Aidan Ridley

You were a great kid Raleigh! It was so much fun watching u grow up. I was always so jealous of your natural athletic ability that your mother loved to brag about…and rightfully so. A massive hole in all of our hearts. Love
