By now many of you have heard about the tragic shooting death of Ryan Helbert--a victim of murder while working at Sonic Drive-in on Cornhusker Dr. in Bellevue on the evening of November 21, 2020.

Those who knew Ryan best would say he was a kind- hearted and generous soul, a loyal friend and fiercely dedicated to his family.   He always had a huge smile on his face, loved to make everyone laugh and was always ready to lend a helping hand.

During the last hours of Ryan's time on this earth, he was working his shift at Sonic when a criminal open fired on Ryan and his co- workers.  The Omaha World Herald reports this cold- blooded attack was in retaliation for the criminal's arrest three days earlier for identity theft and fraudulent use of another person's Sonic App to purchase $57.00 worth of food. 

We all miss Ryan greatly.   He was a loving son to Diana and Scott, a supportive brother to Adriene and Kymberlee and the most awesome uncle to Lucas. I have been lucky to call the Helbert family family when Ryan's sister, Kym, and I met in middle school and became the best of friends.

Please help us show Ryan's family that he made a great impact in this world and that his life was worth so much more.

Knowing times are hard, anything you could share with the family would be appreciated.   All proceeds will go to Ryan's mom, Diana, to cover expenses related to this tragic event and arrangements for Ryan's final resting place.
