My name is James Snyder. My children—Carson, Addison, and Avery—recently lost their little brother, Kai Robert Ries.

Kai was born on January 17, 2026, and tragically passed away on January 27, 2026, leaving behind his loving mother, Brittany Ries, and his siblings far too soon.

I’m putting this together to help ease the financial burden and give Kai the proper goodbye he deserves. Any support, no matter the amount, would mean the world to Brittany and the kids during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support.
