In Memory of Ryan Ciappa

It is with great sorrow to announce Ryan Ciappa’s passing at just the young age of 21 years old. He was an active martial arts competitor, and a talented performer; traveling around the world, performing for the Navy troops and their families. Ryan was loved by many: his friends, his family, his karate students, and his 18-month-old daughter he left behind; everyone is heartbroken to hear about his passing. Ryan was like a son to me and a brother to so many others. I would like to gather money to pay for the funeral expenses to show Ryan our unconditional support even in his passing.
