Funeral support for single father's violent death

Our beloved Ryan G. Allen was tragically and violently taken from his children, family and friends on Saturday, May 7th, 2022. Ryan was an amazing brother, father, and friend who touched the lives of those around him. He leaves behind his young daughter Aurora, and toddler son, Asher, whom he did not get the chance to raise. Ryan had the most contagious and bright smile! He could be going through his hell, but Ryan would be there for you when you needed him. His giggle and sense of humor are just a couple of traits that drew people to him. He would walk into a room, flash that smile and his presence was known!

 

Ryan dedicated his life to fighting for and giving his babies a good life. He was in love with love. Ryan owned his mistakes. He paid his dues, and he never gave up when life was stacked against him, as it was so many times. He had the heart and soul of a warrior. His friends affectionately referred to Ryan as "The Luckiest unlucky." His name means "Little King". We will not let Ryan be forgotten, nor will his life nor death be in vain, a vow by his family and loved ones.

 

We want his two children, Aurora and Asher, to know how deeply their father loved them and how he gave up everything to fight for them and planned his whole future with them. He proved that even going into the jaws of hell, he could rise above and make a difference. Faults and all, Ryan is a child of God and loved by many. May his death bring something good: erase hate and bring us together in eternal love.

 

We all are devastated and shocked by Ryan’s death and were unprepared for the unexpected funeral and support costs. We want to give Ryan the memorial he deserves and for loved ones to say their last goodbyes.

 

May we humbly ask if you would consider donating any amount if you can do so. We are so very grateful for every donation during this difficult time. (If you have previously donated through other means, thank you, and know those funds have been received by Ryan's mother, Theresa).

 

Thank you for all the love, support, stories and memories you shared. We are eternally grateful to you.

 

With love,

Theresa, Shane, Melanie, Natalie and Amanda Allen
