This week, our family experienced an unimaginable loss. Ryker Thomas, our sweet and spirited 14-year-old, passed away unexpectedly. His bright smile, kind heart, and tender spirit touched everyone who knew him, and his absence leaves a space that words can't fill.

We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, support, and prayers from friends and family. Many have asked how they can help during this time. In lieu of flowers or meals, we invite those who feel moved to contribute toward Ryker's medical and funeral expenses. Your generosity, no matter the amount, means the world to our family as we navigate this incredibly difficult time.
