Honoring Danielle's Legacy: A Future for Her Sons

In Loving Memory of Danielle Ryberg

Danielle Ryberg, beloved mother of Robert Marcus (17) and Alexander (12), passed away on December 12, 2024, after a courageous battle with cancer. Her final days were spent at St. Anthony's Hospital in Lakewood, CO, where she was surrounded by her loving family until the very end.

Danielle fought HER2 Triple Negative Breast Cancer with remarkable strength since 2019. After a brief period of remission in 2021, she faced a recurrence that same year. In July 2024, despite her unwavering determination, the cancer spread to her bones. Even then, Danielle's primary focus remained on being there for her sons, whom she loved beyond measure.

This loss comes just two years after the passing of Robert Gonzales, Danielle's partner and best friend, in November 2022. Marcus and Alexander have now lost both parents who raised them with devotion and love. Danielle's sister, Mindy Ryberg, has been appointed as their guardian. As a single mother herself, Mindy has embraced this sacred responsibility to care for her nephews.

Danielle maintained remarkable financial discipline throughout her illness, living modestly while establishing separate savings accounts for her children. However, the combination of extended medical treatment and Robert's earlier passing left limited resources for final expenses and the future.
