In Memory of Ryan Biddle: Support for His Loved Ones

“A passionate spirit, Uncompromised, Boundless and open, A light in your eyes, Then immobilized” -Wings for Marie by Tool

Please help us honor and support the family of our dear friend, Ryan “Bid” Biddle. Ryan passed on August 10th after suffering a heart attack while on vacation with his family. He was just 45 years old.

Ryan was an accomplished gardener, but music was in his soul. He enjoyed creating music and jamming regularly with his brother and friends. He was instrumental in creating an organization called "Mixedmindz,” which started with him in his 20s. This is an organization described as a “Friendship LLC” of sorts. For the past 10 years, along with his brother, Joshua, he would “go to church” every Friday, which meant improv jamming. He welcomed everyone; musical ability was no barrier to entry, inclusive of all. All levels of musicians would come together to form something special and judgement-free. He lived with an open heart; that's what he'll be remembered for, and that will remain his legacy of love.

Through our love for Ryan, we want to ensure his wife Sonia, has the support she needs to help with all the unexpected expenses that come with the death of a loved one. Ryan was her soulmate, and they would have celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary next month.

We appreciate your kindness and support and know that Biddle would be deeply touched by your contributions to help his family during this unexpected and very difficult time.
