This is Alexis and this GoFundMe page is being written out of respect for the loved ones Ryan left behind. In the midst of the overwhelming and absolute pain of his absence, there remains a stark reality to which we would ask for your help. Ryan left us far too early. In the wake of this loss and pain, any help would be greatly appreciated. We would sincerely ask in this time of loss and grief that we remember him for the absolute light he brought. For the laughter and the kindness he initiated and emulated. A father, brother, cousin, partner, friend, artist and explorer, heart made of love, obsidian, arrowheads, morels, nature and pure kindness. Funds will also go to Aria, Ryan’s daughter, for her college account. Thank you!
